This  is  a  digital  copy  of  a  book  that  was  preserved  for  generations  on  library  shelves  before  it  was  carefully  scanned  by  Google  as  part  of  a  project 
to  make  the  world's  books  discoverable  online. 

It  has  survived  long  enough  for  the  copyright  to  expire  and  the  book  to  enter  the  public  domain.  A  public  domain  book  is  one  that  was  never  subject 
to  copyright  or  whose  legal  copyright  term  has  expired.  Whether  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  may  vary  country  to  country.  Public  domain  books 
are  our  gateways  to  the  past,  representing  a  wealth  of  history,  culture  and  knowledge  that's  often  difficult  to  discover. 

Marks,  notations  and  other  marginalia  present  in  the  original  volume  will  appear  in  this  file  -  a  reminder  of  this  book's  long  journey  from  the 
publisher  to  a  library  and  finally  to  you.

PREFACE. 


Though  the  reason  that  has  compelled  a  change  of  author- 
ship  in  the  continued  translation  of  the  Ain  i  Akhari  i3 
doubtless  universally  known,  the  regretful  duty  of  its  for- 
mal announcement  is  imperatirei  in  the  introduction  of  this 
volume.  The  early  and  somewhi^t  sudden  death  of  Professor 
Blochmann  is  a  loss  which  Oriental  literature  may  be  per- 
mitted to  share  with  his  personal  friends,  and  its  regrets, 
though  differing  in  kind  and  measure  from  theirs,  will  not  be 
less  grateful  to  his  memory  from  its  independence  of  associa- 
tions in  which  friendship  bears  a  part,  and  as  a  testimony  to  his 
appreciation  in  a  wider  sphere  where  partial  judgments  have 
no  sway.  This  is  not  the  place  to  pass  in  review  his  services  to 
letters  which  have  been  adequately  commemorated  elsewhere 
by  the  Asiatic  Society  of  Bengal  for  whom  he  so  largely 
laboured,  but  as  commissioned  by  their  authority  to  continue 
the  work  which  death  has  snatched  from  an  able  hand,  it  is 
fitting  that  these  few  words  from  his  successor  should  record 
the  unfortunate  necessity  of  their  action.  It  was  at  one  time 
supposed  that  the  manuscript  of  the  whole  translation  had 
been  completed  by  Professor  Blochmann  and  prepared  for  the 
pressj  but  whatever  the  origin  of  the  rumour,  no  trace  of  the 
work  was  discovered  amongst  his  papers,  and  the  interval  of 
five  years  between  the  conclusion  of  the  first  volume  and  his 
death,  leaves  little  doubt  that  the  report  had  no  foundation. 
His  preface  deplores  or  excuses  the  delay  that  had  already  oc- 
curred in  the  translation  of  the  volume  then  issued,  and 
could  not  have  omitted  mention  of  the  early  completion  of 
the  whole  were  the  manuscript  of  the  remainder  ready  for 
publication.    The  enumeration  of  the  diflGlculties  which  stood

in  his  way  is  expressed  in  terms  which  imply  that  they  had 
not  been  overcome,  else  his  silence,  when  silence  might  be 
interpreted  to  his  prejudice,  is  inexplicable.  It  may  be, 
therefore,  safely  assumed  that  want  of  leisure,  or  other 
weighty  reason,  had  hindered  his  continuance  of  a  work  which 
had  become  the  preoccupation  of  his  most  serious  study  and 
which  he  hoped  to  leave  to  posterity  as  a  record  that  he  had 
not  toiled  in  vain.    But  the  event  was  otherwise  ordained. 

While  sensible  of  the  hpnour  conferred  upon  me  by  the 
Asiatic  Society  in  selecting  ijie  for  the  duty  of  entering  upon 
the  labours  and  sharing  the  reward  of  my  predecessor,  I 
cannot  but  express  my  diffidence  in  presenting  this  second 
volume  to  public  notice  under  their  auspices,  lest  a  com- 
parison should  discredit  the  wisdom  of  the  choice.  But 
whatever  the  verdict  of  those  competent  from  linguistic 
knowledge  and  acquaintance  with  the  abrupt,  close  and 
enigmatic  style  of  the  original  to  judge  of  the  merits  of 
the  translation,  no  pains  at  least  have  been  spared  to 
render  it  a  faithful  counterpart  consistently  with  a  clear- 
ness of  statement  which  the  text  does  not  everywhere 
show.  The  peculiar  tone  and  spirit  of  Abul  Fazl  are 
difficult  to  catch  and  to  sustain  in  a  foreign  tongue.  His 
style,  in  my  opinion,  is  not  deserving  of  imitation  even  in 
his  own.  His  merits  as  a  writer  have,  in  general,  been  great- 
ly exaggerated.  Omitting  the  contemporary  and  interest- 
ing memoirs  of  Al  Baddoni,  whose  scathing  comments  on  the 
deeds  and  motives  of  king  and  minister  have  an  independent 
value  of  their  own,  the  accident  that  Abul  Fazl's  works 
form  the  most  complete  and  authoritative  history  of 
the  events  of  Akbar's  reign,  has  given  them  a  great  and 
pectQiar  importance  as  state  records.  This  they  eminently 
deserve,  but  as  exemplars  of  style,  in  comparison  with  the 
immutable  types  of  excellence  fixed  for  ever  by  Greece  and 
Bome,  they  have  no  place.    His  unique  position  in  Akbar's

court  and  service  enhanced  the  reputation  of  all  that  he 
wrote,  and  his  great  industry  in  a  position  which  secured 
wealth  and  invited  indolence,  fully  merited  the  admiration 
of  his  countrymen.  B/Cgarded  as  a  statistician,  no  details 
from  the  revenues  of  a  province  to  the  cost  of  a  pine-apple, 
from  the  organisation  of  an  army  and  the  grades  and 
duties  of  the  nohility  to  the  shape  of  a  candlestick  and  the 
price  of  a  curry-comb,  are  beyond  his  miscrospic  and  patient 
investigation :  as  an  annalist,  the  movements  and  conduct 
of  his  sovereign  are  surrounded  with  the  impeccability 
that  fences  and  deifies  Oriental  despotism,  and  chronicled 
with  none  of  the  skill  and  power,  and  more  than  the  flattery 
of  Velleius  Paterculus :  as  a  finished  diplomatist,  his 
letters  to  recalcitrant  generals  and  rebellious  viceroys  are 
Eastern  models  of  astute  persuasion,  veiling  threats  with 
compliments,  and  insinuating  rewards  and  promises  with- 
out committing  his  master  to  their  fulfilment.  But  these 
epistles  which  form  one  of  his  monuments  to  fame,  consist 
of  interminable  sentences  involved  in  frequent  parentheses 
difficult  to  unravel,  and  paralleled  in  the  West  only  by 
the  decadence  of  taste,  soaring  in  prose,  as  Gibbon  justly 
remarks,  to  the  vicious  affectation  of  poetry,  and  in  poetry 
sinking  below  the  flatness  and  insipidity  of  prose,  which 
characterizes  Byzantine  eloquence  in  the  tenth  century. 
A  similar  affectation,  and  probably  its  prototype,  is  to  be 
found  in  the  most  approved  Arab  masters  of  florid  com- 
position of  the  same  epoch,  held  by  Ibn  Khallikan's 
erade  and  undisciplined  criticism  to  be  the  perfection 
of  art,  and  which  still  remains  in  Hindustan  the  ideal 
of  every  aspiring  scribe.  His  annals  have  none  of  the 
pregnant  meaning  and  poiht  that  in  a  few  masterly  strokes, 
efxalt  or  brand  a  name  to  all  time,  and  flash  the  actors  of  his 
dxama  across  the  living  page  in  scenes  that  dwell  for  ever  in 
tiie  memory.    The  history  of  nearly  forty-six  years  of  his

master's  reign  contains  not  a  line  that  lives  in  household 
words  among  his  own  countrymen,  not  a  heautiful  image 
that  the  mind  delights  to  recall,  not  a  description  that  rises  to 
great  power  or  pathos,  nor  the  unconscious  simplicity  re- 
deeming its  wearisome  length  which  lends  such  a  charm  to 
Herodotus,  and  which  in  the  very  exordium  of  Thucydides, 
in  Lucian's  happy  phrase,  breathes  the  fragrance  of  Attic 
thyme.  His  narrative  affects  a  quaint  and  stiff  phraseology 
which  renders  it  often  obscure,  and  continues  in  an  even 
monotone,  never  rising  or  falling  save  in  reference  to  the 
Emperor  whose  lightest  mention  compels  the  adoring  pro- 
stration of  his  pen,  and  round  whom  the  world  of  his 
characters  and  events  revolves  as  its  central  sun.  What- 
ever its  merit  as  a  faithful  representation,  in  a  restrict- 
ed sense,  of  a  reign  in  which  he  was  a  capable  and  distin- 
guished actor,  it  lacks  the  interesting  details  and  portraiture 
of  the  life  and  manners  of  the  nation  which  are  commonly 
thought  to  be  below  the  dignity  of  history  but  which  brighten 
the  pages  of  Eastern  historians  less  celebrated  than  himself, 
and  are  necessary  to  the  light  and  shade  of  a  perfect  picture. 
His  statistical  and  geographical  survey  of  the  empire  which 
this  volume  comprises  is  a  laborious  though  somewhat  lifeless 
compilation,  of  the  first  importance  indeed  as  a  record  of  a 
past  and  almost  forgotten  administration  to  guide  and  in- 
struct the  historian  of  the  future  or  the  statesman  of  to-day, 
but  iminf  ormed  by  deductive  comment  and  illustration  which 
might  relieve  the  long  array  of  bald  detail.  His  historical 
summaries  of  dynasties  and  events  in  the  various  S6bahs 
under  their  ancient  autonomous  rule,  are  incoherent  abridg- 
ments, often  so  obscurely  phrased  as  not  to  be  under- 
stood without  a  previous  knowledge  of  the  events  to  which 
they  relate  and  his  meaning  is  rather  to  be  conjectured  than 
elicited  from  the  grammatical  analysis  of  his  sentences.

acknowledged.  This  of  itself  would  have  been  of  no  mo- 
ment and  their  indication  might  perhaps  have  disturbed 
the  unity  of  his  design  had  he  otherwise  so  incorporated  the 
labours  of  others  with  his  own  as  to  stamp  the  whole  with 
the  impress  of  originality,  but  he  not  seldom  extracts  passages 
word  for  word  from  other  authors  undeterred  by  the  fear,  or 
heedl^s  of  the  charge,  of  plagiarism. 

Such,  in  my  opinion,  is  the  reverse  of  the  medal  which 
represents  Abul  Fazl  unrivalled  as  a  writer  and  beyond  the 
reach  of  imitation.  The  fashion  of  exaggerating  the  impor- 
tance and  merits  of  a  subject  or  an  author  by  those  who 
make  them  their  special  study,  especially  when  that  study 
lies  outside  the  common  track  of  letters,  inevitably  brings 
its  own  retribution  and  ends  by  casting  general  discredit  on 
what  in  its  place  and  of  its  kind  has  its  due  share  of  honour 
or  utility.  The  merit  and  the  only  merit  of  the  Ain  i 
Akbari  is  in  what  it  tells  and  not  in  the  manner  of  its  tell- 
ing which  has  little  to  recommend  it.  It  will  deservedly 
go  down  to  posterity  as  a  unique  compilation  of  the 
systems  of  administration  and  control  throughout  the  vari- 
ous departments  of  Government  in  a  great  empire,  faith- 
fully and  minutely  recorded  in  their  smallest  detail,  with 
such  an  array  of  facts  illustrative  of  its  extent,  resources, 
condition,  population,  industry  and  wealth  as  the  abundant 
material  supplied  from  official  sources  could  furnish.  This 
in  itself  is  praise  and  fortune  of  no  common  order  and  it 
needs  not  the  fictitious  ascription  of  unparalleled  powers  of 
historiography  in  its  support.  The  value  of  the  Ain  in  this 
regard  has  been  universally  acknowledged  by  European 
scholars  and  it  may  not  be  out  of  place  to  quote  here  the 
opinion  of  the  learned  Beinaud  on  this  work  in  his  1st  vol. 
of  the  Geographic  d  'Abulfeda,  as  it  accurately  represents  its 
nature  and  worth  and  the  style  and  quality  of  its  literary 
ocHiipositicm.

L  'Indemusulmane  nous  offre,  dans  les  commencements 
du  xvii*  sitele,  un  ouvrage  de  compilation,  qui  est  d'un 
grand  int^rfet  pour  la  gdographie;  c'est  le  traits  persan, 
compost  par  Aboul-Pazel,  ministre  de  1*  empereur  mogol 
Akbar,  et  intitule  Ayyn-Akbery  ou  Institutes  d*  Akbar,  par 
suite  de  1'  int^rfet  qu*  Akbar  avait  apport^  h.  sa  composition. 
L' empire  fond^  dans  1'  Inde  par  Babour,  un  des  descendants 
de  Tamerlan,  avait  pris,  sous  le  r^gne  d'  Akbar,  une  grande 
extension  et  s'  ^tendait  depuis  V  Afganistan  jusqu  'au  fond 
du  golfe  du  Bengale,  depuis  V  Himalaia  jusqu'au  Dekhan. 
Gritce  k  Texcellent  gouvemement  dtabli  par  Akbar,  les 
provinces,  pendant  longtemps  ravag^es  par  les  guerres  intes- 
tines, avaient  acquis  une  physionomie  nouvelle.  D*un  autre 
c6t4,  les  vues  lib^rales  de  I'empereur  et  de  son  ministre 
n'avaient  rien  de  commun  avec  I'esprit  ^troit  et  exclusif  qui 
caract^rise  Tislamisme,  et  ils  avaient  fait  traduire  en  persan 
les  meilleurs  livres  de  la  litt^rature  sanscrite.  Aboul-Eazel, 
se  mettant  a  la  t^te  d'une  soci^t^  de  savants,  entreprit  une 
description  g^ographique,  physique  et  historique  de  Tempire, 
accompagn^e  de  tableaux  statistiques.  Ghacun  des  seize  sou- 
bah  ou  gouvernements  dont  se  composait  alors  Tempire 
mogol,  y  est  decrit  avec  une  minutieuse  exactitude ;  la  situa- 
tion g^ographique  et  relative  des  villes  et  des  bourgs  y  est 
indiqude ;  T^num^ration  des  produits  naturels  et  industriciS 
y  est  soigneusement  trac^e,  ainsi  que  la  nomenclature  des 
princes,  soit  idol£btres,  soit  musulmans,  auxquels  les  soubah 
avaient  €i^  soumis  avant  d'etre  enclaves  dans  Tempire.  On 
trouve  ensuite  un  expos^  de  T^tat  militaire  de  Tempire,  et 
r^numdration  de  ce  qui  composait  la  maison  du  souverain,  etc. 
L'ouvrage  se  termine  par  un  precis,  fait  en  g^n^ral  d'apr^s 
les  sources  indigenes,  de  la  religion  brahmanique,  des  divers 
syst^mes  de  la  philosophic  hindoue,  etc.

la  peine  a  le  comprendre.  En  1783,  Francis  Gladwin,  en- 
conrag^  par  le  gouvemeur  g^n^ral  Hastings,  publia  une  ver- 
sion anglaise  abr^g^e  de  Touvrage.  Plao^  aussi  favorable- 
ment  qu'il  V  6tait  et  aid6  des  oonseils  des  indigenes,  il  vint 
k  bout  de  difficult^s  qui  auraient  4t4  partout  ailleurs  insur- 
montables.  La  version  anglaise,  plusieurs  fois  r^imprim6e, 
se  r^pandit  h  la  fois  dans  Tlnde  et  en  Europe,  et  cette  pub- 
lication n'a  pas  ^t^,  surtout  dans  les  commencements,  sans 
influence  sur  les  progr^s  des  etudes  indiennes. 

Maintenant,  si  on  entreprenait  une  nouvelle  Edition  de 
la  version  de  Gladwin,  Ton  pourrait  la  rendre  d'un  usage  en- 
core plus  utile.  L*ouvrage  fourmille  de  noms  indigenes, 
particuli^rement  de  mots  sanscrits,  et  ces  mots,  en  passant  k 
travers  les  caract^res  de  Talphabet  arabe,  ont  souvent  subi  d* 
horribles  alterations.  Au  temps  de  Gladwin,  Ton  n'^tait 
pas  assez  avanc6  dans  les  etudes  indiennes  pour  rendre  k  ces 
mots  leur  veritable  physionomie,  Maintenant,  un  indianiste 
qui  saurait  passablement  le  persan,  rdtablirait  facilement  les 
termes  dans  leur  veritable  4tat.  Pour  ma  part,  dans  le  cours 
de  mes  travaux  sur  Tlnde,  j'ai  fait  subir  des  corrections  k 
la  transcription,  au  fur  et  a  mesure  des  besoins. 

Je  ne  dois  pas  n^gliger  de  dire  un  mot  sur  la  table  des 
noms  de  lieux,  reproduite  dans  la  version  anglaise  en  carac- 
t^res  arabes  avec  leur  transcription,  et  dispos^e  d'aprfes  Tordre 
des  sept  climats.  Non-seulement  beaucoup  de  noms  sont 
alt^r^,  mais  encore  les  noms  sont  places  au  hasard.  En  ce 
qui  conceme  la  confusion,  elle  existe  dans  le  texte  original. 
Svidemment,  la  personne  qui  dans  le  principe,  f ut  charg^e 
de  dresser  cette  table,  6tait  pen  au  courant  de  la  geographic.  . 

The  criticism  of  Gladwin's  version  is  just  and  this  deli- 
eate  animadversion  I  desire  to  imitate.  His  di£B.culties  with 
varying  and  corrupt  MSS.  from  which  he  had  to  translate 
were  very  considerable,  and  it  is  much  to  his  credit  that  he 
has  on  the  whole  succeeded  so  well.     But  it  is  not  to  be

denied  that  omissions  are  frequent  and  considerable  and  that 
he  has  often  misconstrued  his  author  and  thus  led  those  who 
followed  and  relied  on  him  astray.  In  the  Tables  of  Longi- 
tudes and  Latitudes  in  the  fourth  book,  the  geographical 
names  whether  Persian  or  English  are  quite  untrustworthy 
and  very  few  are  correctly  spelt  or  transliterated.  Much  of 
the  burden  of  this  blame  is  to  be  laid  on  the  original  text  which 
has  been  composed  or  transcribed  without  intelligence, 
discrimination  or  geographical  knowledge,  and  for  purposes 
of  reference  is  so  frequently  incorrect  as  to  be  worthless. 
The  fourth  and  fifth  books  which  form  the  concluding 
volume  of  this  work  are  now  in  course  of  translation  and  if 
the  little  leisure  I  can  command  will  permit  of  it,  I  trust 
that  their  publication  will  not  long  be  delayed.  The  constant 
elucidation  which  the  text  requires,  involves  no  inconsider- 
able research  which,  while  it  lightens  the  exertion  and  en- 
courages the  patience  of  the  reader,  is  among  the  transla- 
tor's most  anxious  and  laborious  tasks.  I  have  dispensed 
with  two  indices,  such  as  are  appended  to  the  first  volume, 
the  advantage  of  which  I  have  not  been  able  to  discover. 
There  appears  to  me  no  more  reason  for  distinguishing 
geographical  from  other  proper  names  than  for  disjoining 
names  of  men  from  those  of  women,  or  animate  from  in- 
animate objects.  I  have  therefore  included  all  in  a  single 
index.  The  names  of  the  towns  and  villages  in  the  list  of 
Sarkdrs,  twice  recorded  by  Abul  Fazl  both  under  the  Ten 
Years'  Settlement  (p.  88.  et  aeq.)  and  in  the  histories  of  the 
Stibahs,  have  not  been  separately  entered,  to  avoid  augment- 
ing the  index  without  necessity.  A  reference  to  the  S6bah 
and  then  to  the  Sarkdr  will  suffice  to  trace  the  location 
of  any  particular  town.

Cisaa  SinenBis,  Briason.  Cissa  Venatoria,  Blyth — the  green  }\j.  It  is  found  in 
the  Soutb  Eastern  Himalayas  and  in  the  hill  ranges  of  Assam,  Sjlhet,  Arakan  and 
Tenaaserim.  These  birds  wander  aboat  from  tree  to  tree  and  pick  grasshoppers, 
mantides  and  other  insects,  are  frequently  tamed  and  caged  and  are  amusing  and 
imitatiTe.  They  sing  lustily  a  loud  screeching  strain  and  are  highly  carnivorous.  The 
ihrike-like  habit,  in  confinement,  of  placing  a  bit  of  food  between  the  bars  of  their 
oage  is  in  no  species  more  exemplified  than  in  this — Jerdon,  II,  812.

IMPERIAL    ADMINISTEATION. 

Since  somewhat  of  the  recent  imperial  institutions  regulating 
the  Army  and  the  Household  have  been  set  down,  I  shall  now  record 
the  excellent  ordinances  of  that  sagacious  intellect  that  energizes 
the  world. 


ATN    1. 
THE  DIVINE  ERA. 

The  connection  of  monetary  transactions  without  fixity  of  date  would 
Blip  from  the  grasp,  and  through  forgetfulness  and  falsehood  raise  a  tamult 
of  strife  ;  for  this  reason  every  community  devises  a  remedy  and  fixes  an 
epoch.  Since  thought  fosters  well-being  and  is  an  aid  to  facility  (of  action), 
to  displace  obsolete  chronology  and  establish  a  new  usage  is  a  necessity  of 
gOYernment.  For  this  reason,  the  prince  regent  on  the  throne  of  felicity 
in  the  29th  year  of  the  Divine  Era,^  for  the  purpose  of  refreshing  that  plea- 
sure-ground of  dominion  and  revenue,  directed  its  irrigation  and  rendered 
blooming  and  lush  the  palace-garden  of  the  State. 

(Compassing  events  within  a  determinate  time,  the  Persian  calls 
makross  (date) ;  the  Arab  has  converted  this  into  muarrakh  (chronicled), 
and  thence  "  tarikh  (date)  is  a  household  word.  Some  derive  the  Arabic 
from  irdkhy  a  wild  bull.  This  conjugation  of  the  measure  of  tdjaHl^  means, 
to  polish.     As  ignorance  of  the  time  of  an  event  grew  less,  it  became  dis-

loamal  of  the  Asiatic  Society,  state

to  the  opening  of  the  3rd  chapter  of  Al

not  achieyable  simply  by  means  of  ample  wealih,  and  the  philosophic  treatises 
of  the  past  and  the  instiintions  of  the  ancients  cannot  be  secured  without  the 
most  strennons  endeayoors  of  the  sovereign.  With  all  this,  thirty  years

longer  the  period  and  the  greater  the  care  bestowed  upon  a  task,  the  more 
perfect  its  completion. 

In  this  time-worn  world  of  affliction  Divine  Providence  has  vouchsafed 
its  aid  to  many  who  have  attained  considerable  renown  in  these  con- 
itrnctions,  such  as  Archimedes,  Aristarchus  and  Hipparchus  in  Egypt,  from 
whose  time  to  the  present,  the  40th  year  of  the  divine  era,  1769  years  have 
elapsed* ;  such  as  Plotemy  in  Alexandria  who  flourished  some  1410  years 
ago ;  as  the  Caliph  M&mtin  in  Baghdad,  790  years  past,  and  Sind^  bin  'Ali

to  the  five  planets  risible  to  the  naked 
eye,  and  the  snn  and  inoon.  The  names  of

nonths  (very  nearly)  to  return  to  the 
same  place  among  the  fixed  stars,  whether 
tl»  centre  of  motion  be  the  Snn  or  the 
Sarth.  The  Gopemican  system  had  been

among  three  astronomers  who  first  among 
the  Arabs,  instituted  observations  from 
the  Shammasiyah  observatory  at  Bagh-

«  Ibn  u'l  'Aa'lam  A.  H.  376  (A.  D.  985), 
stood  in  great  credit  with  Adl^ad  ud 
daulah,  but  finding  himself  in  less  estima- 
tion with  his  son  Shamsud  Daulah,  he 
left  the  court  but  returned  to  Baghdad  a 
year  before  his  death.  His  astronomical 
tables  were  celebrated  not  onlj  in  his 
own  time  but  by  later  astronomers.  He 
died  on  his  return  from  a  pilgrimage  to 
Mecca.  Ibid.  p.  311.  Vol.  V.  Of  Al 
Hdkimi,  I  can  learn  nothing. 

■  Muhammad  b.  Jdbir  al  Battdni, 
(Albatenius)  a  native  of  Harran  and  in- 
habitant of  Bakka.  His  observations 
were  begun  in  A.  H.  264  (A.  D.  877-8) 
and  he  continued  them  till  A.  H.  306. 
He  died  in  317  A.  H.  He  was  the  author 
of  the  astronomical  work  entitled  the 
Sabean  tables.  It  is  doubtful  whether  he 
embraced  Islamism.  His  ancestors  were 
Sabeans  and  he  was  probably  so  himself. 
In  his  table  he  marked  the  positions  of 
the  fixed  stars  in  A.  H.  299  (A.  D.  911- 
12)«  Among  other  works  he  wrote  a 
treatise  on  the  mode  of  calculating  the 
amplitude  of  the  Zodiacal  signs  for  every 
latitude,  which  would  be  of  use  in  the 


history  of  spherical  trigonometry :  also  an 
explanation  of  Ptolemy's  qitudripartitum. 
cf.  Ibn  KhallikAn.  art  al  Battdni  and 
the  Fihrist,  p.  279.  In  the  Encyclop£edia 
Metropolitana  it  is  stated  that  he  was 
sumamed  the  Ptolemy  of  the  Arabs.  He 
corrected  the  determination  of  Ptolemy 
respecting  the  motion  of  the  stars  in 
longitude,  ascertaining  it  to  be  one  degp:«e 
in  70  instead  of  100  years ;  modern  ob- 
servations make  it  one  degree  in  72  years. 
He  also  determined  very  exactly  the 
eccentricity  of  the  ecliptic  and  corrected 
the  length  of  the  year,  making  it  con- 
sist of  365  days,  5  hours,  46  minutes, 
24  seconds,  which  is  about  2  minutes 
short  of  but  4  minutes  nearer  the  truth, 
than  had  been  given  by  Ptolemy.  Ho 
also  discovered  the  motion  of  the  apogee. 
His  works  have  been  collected  and  pub- 
lished in  two  vols.  4to.  under  the  title  of 
De  Scientia  Stellarv.m,  of  which  there  are 
two  editions,  one  in  1537  and  the  other 
in  1646. 

*  No^iru^ddin  is  the  surname  of 
Muhammad-b-Hassan  or  Ibn  Mul^mmad 
at  Tusi,  often  simply  called  Khwajah 
Na^iru'ddin  (A.  H.  697-672,  or  accord- 
ing to  some  687).  Hulaku  the  Tartar 
chief  placed  him  at  the  head  of  the 
philosophers  and  astronomers  whom  his 
clemency  had  spared  in  the  sack  of 
Moslem  towns,  and  gave  him  the  ad- 
ministration of  all  the  colleges  in  his  ao- 
quired  dominions.  The  town  of  Muragha 
in  Azarbayj&n  was  assigned  to  him  and

Basad  signifies  'watching'  in  the  Arabic  tongue  and  the  watchers, 
therefore,  are  a  body  who,  in  a  specially-adapted  edifice,  observe  the  move- 
ments of  the  stars  and  stndy  their  aspects.  The  results  of  their  investigations 
and  their  discoveries  regarding  these  sublime  mysteries  are  tabulated  and 
reduced  to  writing.  This  is  called  an  astronomical  table  (zij) .  This  word 
is  an  Arabicized  form  of  the  Persian,*  ztk  which  means  the  threads  that 
guide  the  embroiderers  in  weaving  brocaded  stuffs.  In  the  same  way,  an 
astronomical  table  is  a  guide  to  the  astronomer  in  recognising  the  conditions 
of  the  heavens,  and  the  linear  extensions  and  columns,  in  length  and  breadth, 
resemble  these  threads.     It  is  said  to  be  the  Arabic  rendering  of  zih  from 


spherics  of  Theodosins  and  Menelaas  in 
663  and  670.  The  Akhla^  i  Na^iri,  a 
work  on  morals  was  translated  into 
Persian  by  this  savant  from  the  Arabic 
original  the  Kitab  ut  Taharat,  written  by

*  Ulngh  Beg    (  «-^   c!l   "^t    •-^•'l 

was  the  son  of  Shah  Bnkh  and  grandson 
of  Tamerlane  bom  at  Snltanieh  A.  H. 
796,  (A.  D.  1393).  In  810  he  possessed 
tlie  government  of  some  provinces  of 
Khorasin  and  Mazander^n  and  in  812, 
that  of  Tnrkistdn  and  Transoxania.  He 
bowever,  quickly  abandoned  politics 
■ad  devoted  himself  passionately  to 
^  favourite  studies.  He  desired  that 
kis  tables  should  be  scrupulously  exact 
•nd  procured  the  best  instruments 
ihexL  available.  These  at  this  period, 
were  of  extraordinary  size.  The  obli- 
<Ittity  of  the  ecliptic  was  observed  in 
A,  D»  995  with  a  quadrant  of  15  cubits' 
»diM  (21  feet  8  inches).  The  sextant 
of  Abu  Mu^ammed  al  Khojandi  used  in 
^  had  a  radios  of  40  cubits  (57  feet 


9  inches).  The  quadrant  used  by  Ulugh 
Beg  to  determine  the  elevation  of  the 
pole  at  Samaroand,  was  as  high  as  the 
summit  of  St.  Sophia  at  Constantinople 
(about  180  feet).  The  astronomical 
tables  were  first  published  in  A.  H.  841 
(A.  D.  1437).  The  ancient  astronomy 
had  produced  only  one  catalogue  of  the 
fixed  stars,  that  of  Hipparchus.  Ulngh 
Beg,  after  an  interval  of  sixteen  cen- 
turies, produced  tbe  second.  Like  all 
orientals  he  fell  into  the  slough  of 
astrology.  The  stars  foretold  his  assas- 
sination. His  suspicions  pointed  to 
his  son,  whom  unmerited  ill-treatment 
drove  into  rebellion  and  this  brought 
about  the  catastrophe  he  dreaded.  He 
was  slain  in  1449,  and  with  his  death 
closes  the  line  of  Arabian  astronomers. 
A  century  and  a  half  separates  him 
from  the  great  Keppler.  Purbach,  Re- 
giomontanus,  Copernicus  and  Tjcho 
Brahe  filled  the  interval  and  not  a  little 
of  the  honour  accredited  to  Western  as- 
tronomers is  due  to  the  labour  of  the 
Arabs.  The  subject  is  exhaustively  dis- 
cussed by  Sedillot.  Prolegom.  d'Oloug 
Beg,  Vols.  I  and  II.

Some  maintain  it  to  be  Persian,  signifying  a  mason's  rnle,  and  as  he, 
through  its  instrumentalitj  determines  the  evenness  of  a  building,  so  an 
astronomer  aims  at  accuracy  by  means  of  this  astronomical  table. 

Many  men  have  left  such  compilations  to  chronicle  their  fame.  Among 
these  are  the  Canons  of

tinctly states  that  Aba'l  Qasan  was  the  son  not  the  brother  of  AH  b.  Amajdr.  Ibn

Another  reading  is  S4bdt/  J:bL#)  but  I  cannot  recognize  nor  trace  the  name  satis* 

factorily.    The  epithet    ^ytj^  inclines  me  to  believe  the  name  to  be  that  of  a  Oreek

who  kept  him  at  Court  as  an  astrologer.  He  wrote  on  the  Spherics  of  Theodosius, 
and  retranslated  Euclid  already  turned  into  Arabic  by  Hunain-b-Isha^  al  Ib^di.  He 
was  also  author  of  a  work  in  Syriac  on  the  Sabean  doctrines  and  the  customs  and 
ceremonies  of  their  adherents.  Ibn  Khali.  D'Herb.  Sedillot.  p.  xxv.  et  seq.  For  a  list

I  believe  the  first  name  to  be  an  error.  The  Fihrist  mentions  a  son  of  Sinin  with 
the  patronymic  Abul  J^asan  who  is  no  doubt  here  meant.  He  was  grandson  of 
Thitbit-b-^urrah,  and  named  also  Thibit  according  to  P'Herb.  as  well  as  Abdl  ^asan 
after  his  grandfather.  (Sedillot).  Equally  proficient  in  astronomy  with  his  grandfather,

titular  adjectives  of  place.  I  transcribe  De  Slane.  Y.  I,  p.  60.  "  Marwarrudi  means 
^athe  of  MarwarHidf  a  well-known  city  in  Ehorasdn,  built  on  a  river,  in  Persian  ar-rud,

Arab  geometricians  in  the  same  manner  as  in  trigonometrical  calculations  of  the  present

on  almanacs,  the  motions  of  the  heavenly  bodies  and  their  number,  supported  by 
geometrical  proofs.  His  compendium  (mujmal)  summarises  their  contents  (p.  564.)  The 
Jami'  is  again  mentioned  lower  down  as  a  work  in  85  chapters  applied  by  the  author

Stkimaii  b.  al  Qosam-b-fiar^owaih.  Another  work  of  the  same  name  (Dilectos  e 
Ubrifl  eleotlonis  diemm,  astrologicae)  was  composed  by  the  physician  Aba  Na^r  Ya^^ya 
b.  Jaru>  at  Takriti  for  Sadid  nd  Danlah  Abn'l  Ghan&im  Abdii*l  Karfm. 

29.  Abn'l  Hasan  Tu'si.  This  name  oocnrs  in  the  Fihrist  (p*  71)  as  that  of  a 
aohohur  learned  in  tribal  history  and  poetry.  A  son  of  the  same  name  is  mentioned  as 
a  diatingaished  doctor,  bnt  there  is  no  notice  of  his  astronomical  knowledge. 

30.  Ahmad-b-IshalL  SarakhsL 

The  name  of  I^fyaif.  does  not  occur  in  the  genealogy  of  any  Sarakhsi  that  I  can  dis- 
cover. The  text  probably  refers  to  Abmad*b-Md.  b.  at  Tayyih,  the  well  known  precep- 
tor of  the  Caliph  al  Mnatadi^d  by  whom  he  was  pnt  to  death  in  A.  H.  286  (899)  for 
rerealing  his  pupil's  confidences.  D'  Herb,  states  that  he  wrote  on  the  EUraytnYfl  of 
Porphirius,  and  Albiruni  (Chronology)  mentions  him  as  an  astrologer  and  cites  a  prophecy 
of  his  where  he  speaks  of  the  conjunction  of  Saturn  and  Mars  in  the  sign  of  Cancer. 

31.  Qhara'ri.  Probably  Al  Faziri.  Abu  Is\^ik  Ibrahim-b-Qabib  the  earliest 
maker  of  astrolabes  among  the  Arabs,  who  was  the  author  of  a  canon  and  several  as- 
tronomical works.    Fihrist,  p.  273,  date  not  giren. 

32.  Al  Ha'ru'ni. 

It  is  difficult  in  such  bald  mention  of  names,  where  so  many  are  alike,  to  be  sure 
of  the  correctness  of  allasion.  This  is,  probably,  HiLrdn-b-al  Muuajjim,  an  astrologer, 
native  of  Baghdad  and  an  accomplished  scholar.  His  great  grandfather  was  astro- 
loger to  the  Caliph  al-Mansur  and  his  son  Yahya  served  al  Fadhl-b-Sahl  in  the  same 
capftcity,  died  A.  H.  288  (901).     Ibn  Khali.  IV.  p.  605. 

33.  Adwa'r  i  Kira'in  (Cycles  of  conjunctions)  the  name  of  a  Canon  whoso 
author  I  cannot  discover. 

34.  Ya'ku'b-b-Ta'u's. 

I  may  safely  hazard  the  emendation  T^ik  (OX^)  for  'fiuB,  This  astro- 
.  nomer  is  mentioned  by  Albirdni.  Ham.  Purg.  gives  his  date  A.  H.  218  (833)  and  a 
Hst  of  his  works  apparently  copied  from  the  Fihrist,  p.  278. 

86.   Rhwa'razmi. 

HQba>mmad<b-Mti8a,  by  command  of  al  M£mun,  compiled  an  abridgment  of  the 
Sindhind  (Siddh&nta) ;  better  known  as  a  mathematioism  than  as  astronomer— see  Se- 
dniot,  I.  zvi.    He  was  the  author  of  a  Canon  according  to  the  Fihrist,  p.  274. 

86.  Yu'sufl.  The  secretary  of  Al  M6mtin,  Abu*t  Tayyib-b-'Abdi'Uah  is  the  only 
name  I  discover  in  this  relative  form.  The  Fihrist,  (p.  123)  mentions  no  astronomical 
works  of  his.  Perhaps,  Yusnf-b-Ali  Thatta  (1043)  or  Ibn  Yiisuf  al  Ma^i^i  may  be 
meant :  the  text  is  too  vague  to  determine  accarately. 

87.  Wa'fl— the  work  of  Ulugh  Beg  "  fi  Mawdfi  ul  aa'mil  nn  Najdmiya,  (de 
tnmsitibus  operationum  astronomicarum)  is  the  only  ^itle  approaching  that  of  the  text 
that  I  discover. 

38.  Jauzharayn — Jauzhar  the  Arabic  form  of  Gauzhar,  is  the  head  and  tail 
of  Draco.  The  two  points  in  the  Ecliptic  which  mark  its  intersection  by  the  orbit 
of  a  planet  in  ascent  and  descent,  are  called  its  Nodes  or  two  Jauzhars — (Istila^&t  u'l 
Punoon,  arts.  »-*ii  and -ik^^) ,  There  is  a  Canon  called    Jbj^arf^*^    ^     de   motu 

TOO  capitis  et  caudoe  draconis,  by  Shaikh  Ibn  ul  Kidir  al  Barallusi — see  Haj-Khall

Earim  Mnl^ammad,  ibe  author  of  a  work  on  Mathematics  entitled  Ad&b  fi  ist'im&l  il 
Hisdb.  A.  H.  506 — 62.  The  Fihrist  p.  244,  records  another  Sama'^n  as  a  commen- 
tator on  the  Canon  of  fPtolemy,  and  a  third  Ibn  Sama'dn,  the  slave  of  Abn  Ma'shar,  and 
author  of  an  astronomical  work. 

40.  Ibn  Sahra. 

The  variants  of  this  name  suggest  its  doubtful  orthography.    Ibn  Abi   Safari 

\iS^^  i^*  i:^*  )  is  mentioned  by  Ham.  Pxirg.  as  an  astrologer  of  Baghdad  whose 
predictions  were  fortunate.  He  lived  in  the  latter  half  of  the  century,  132 — 232,  (749 — 
846)  the  most  brilliant  period  in  the  annals  of  Arab  literature. 

41.  Abu'U  Fadhl  Ma'sha'llah,  incorrectly  Mdshd^a  in  the  text.— Born 
in  Al  Man?ur'8  reign,  he  lived  to  that  of  Al  Mdmun.  His  name  "  What  God  wills  **  is 
simply  a  rendering  of  the  Hebrew  Mischa.  The  Fihrist  calls  him  Ibn  Athra  /c^  I  lo^ 
and  notes  his  voluminous  writings,  copied  by  Ham.  Purg.  B.  III.  257. 

42.  'Aa'simi— untraceable. 

43.  KabiY  of  Abu'  Ma'shar—  a  native  of  Balkh,  a  contemporary  and  envious 
rival  of  Al  Kindi. — At  first  a  traditionist,  he  did  not  begin  the  study  of  astronomy  tiU 
after  the  age  of  47.  He  died  at  Wdsit  exceeding  the  age  of  100,  A.  H.  272,  (885)— An 
astronomer  and  astrologer  of  great  renown.  In  the  latter  capacity,  he  paid  the  pen- 
alty of  success  in  a  prediction  by  receiving  a  flogging  at  the  command  of  Al  Musta'in  ; 

upon  which  his  epigram  is  recorded  *^y^  ^-S-^^L  "  I  hit  and  got  hit."  Thirty- 
three  of  his  works  are  named  in  the  Fihrist,  p.  277.  He  was  known  in  Europe  as  Albu- 
maser  and  his  works  translated  into  Latin,  see  Sachau's  Albiruni  (Chronol.)  p.  375, — 
also  Haj.  Ehal.  art.  z{j. 

44.  Sind-b-'Ali.    See  note  p.  8. 

45.  IbnAVlam        Do.     p.  4. 

46.  ShahryaYa'n. 

This  Oanon  occurs  in  Albiruni  (Chronol.)  with  the  addition  of  the  word  Sh^h. — 
Sachau  confesses  his  ignorance  of  it.  Haj.  Khal.  gives  a  Canon  called  Shahrydr  which 
is  well-known — translated  into  Arabic  by  At  Tamimi  from  the  Persian.  Fihrist,  244.  v. 
also  Sachau' s  preface  to  Albirtini's  India,  p.  xxx. 

47.  Arkand. — In  Albiruni  called  "the  days  of  Arkand."  The  more  correct 
form  according  to  Reinaud,  Memoire  sur  1'  Inde.,  p.  322,  would  be  the  Sanskrit  Ahar- 
gana — See  Sachau's  note  p.  375  of  Albiruni's  Chronol.  from  which  I  quote. 

Albirdni  made  a  new  edition  of  the  Days  of  Arkand,  putting  into  clearer  words 
and  more  idiomatic  Arabic,  the  then  existing  translation  which  followed  too  closely  the 
Sanskrit  original. 

48.  IbnSu'fl. 

Al  Shaikh  Md.  b.  Abi'l  Fatl^  as  Sufi  al  Mi^ri  wrote  an  epitome  of  the  Canon  of 
Ulugh  Beg  with  additional  tables  and  notes.  It  was  with  reference  to  this  epitome  that 
the  work  of  Al  Barallusi,  Bihjat  ul  Fikr  fi  Hall  is  Shams  Wal  ^amr  was  written,  of  which 
the  Jaazhar,  one  of  its  three  parts,  is  alladed  to  in  38. 

49.  Sehela^n  Ka^shi. 

Sehelan,  Sehilan  or  Ibn  Sehil&i  according  to  D'Hei-belot  was  the  name  of  the 
Minister  of  Sultdn  ud  Daulah  of  the  Buyide  family,  whose  enmity  with  his  brother 
Mushraf ud  Doulah  was  due  to  the  policy  or  personal  feeling  of  that  Btatesman.  A 
canon  might  have  been  published  under  his  patronage  and  name.

and  matter,  may  attain  to  such  an  elevation  that  earthly  and  divine 
forms,  whether  as  nniversals  or  particularized,  in  the  sublime  or  nether- 
most regions,  future  or  past,  are  conceived  in  his  mind.  From  kindliness  of 
dispoflition  and  in  the  interests  of  science  they  impart  their  knowledge  to 
enquirers  of  auspicious  character,  who  commit  their  lessons  to  writing,  and 
this  writing  they  term  SiddhdrU.  Nine  such  books  are  still  extant ;  the 
Brahm-Siddhdnty  the  Suraj'Siddhdnty  the  86m-8iddhdnty  the  Brahcupat-

sighted  and  just  observer  will,  nevertheless,  not  refuse  his  assent,  the

globe,  they  reckon  it  from  sunrise  to  sanrise  ;  in  Rdraak — ^the  extreme 
west,  from  sunset  to  sunset ;  in  Ceylon,  the  extreme  south,  from  mid- 
night to  midnight  and  the  same  computation  obtains  in  Dehli :  in  Sadh- 
pur,  the  extreme  north,  from  noon  to  noon.  Secondly,  the  Equated  also 
called  Artificial,  which  consists  of  a  complete  revolution  of  the  celestial 
sphere  measured  by  the  sun's  course  in  the  ecliptic.  For  facility  of  cal- 
culation, they  take  the  whole  period  of  the  sun's  revolution  and  divide 
equally  the  days  thereof  and  consider  the  fractional  remainder  as  the 
mean  of  each  day,  but  as  the  duration  of  the  revolutions  is  found  to  vary, 
a  difference  between  the  natural  and  artificial  day  arises.  The  tables  of 
Al-Battani  assume  it  as  59  minutes,  8  seconds,  8  thirds,  46  fourths,  56 
fifths  and  14  sixths.  Those  of  Elkhdni  make  the  minutes  and  seconds 
the  same,  but  have  19  thirds,  44  fourths,  10  fifths  and  37  sixths.  The 
recent  Gurgd.ni  tables  agree  with  the  Khwajah^  up  to  the  thirds,  but  give 
37  fourths,  and  43  fifths.  Ptolemy  in  the  Almagest  accords  in  minutes 
and  seconds,  but  sets  down  17  thirds,  13  fourths,  12  fifths  and  31  sixths. 
In  the  same  way  ancient  tables  record  discrepancies,  which  doubtless 
arise  from  varying  knowledge  and  difference  of  instruments.  The  cycle 
of  the  year  and  the  seasons  depend  upon  the  sun.  Prom  the  time  of  his 
quitting  one  determinate  point  till  his  return  to  it,  they  reckon  as  one 
year.  The  period  that  he  remains  in  one  sign  is  a  solar  month.  The 
interval  of  the  moon's  departure  from  a  given  position  to  its  return  thereto 
with  the  sun  in  conjunction  or  opposition  or  the  like,  is  a  lunar  month. 
And  since  twelve  lunations  are  nearly^  equal  to  one  annual  revolution  of 
the  sun,  they  are  called  a  lunar  year.     Thus  both  the  year  and  the  month

occupies  the  centre,  through  which  the 
Equator  (Nalkash)  passes.  The  Nor- 
thern half  of  the  mountain  is  the  abode 
of  angelic  spirits,  the  southern  that  of 
Daityas  and  Nags  and  is  therefore 
called  Dai  tan  tar.  When  the  sun  is  in

are  solar  and  lunar  :  and  each  of  these  two  is  Natural  when  the  planetary 
revolutions  are  regarded  and  not  the  computation  of  days,  and  Equated 
when  the  computation  is  in  days  and  not  in  the  time  of  revolution. 
The  Hindu  sage  divides  the  year,  like  the  month,  into  four  parts, 
allotting  a  particular  purpose  to  each.  Having  now  given  a  short 
account  of  the  night,  the  day,  the  year  and  the  month  which  form  the 
basis  of  chronological  notation,  we  herein  set  down  somewhat  of  the 
ancient  eras  to  complete  our  exposition. 

Era  of  the  Hindus. 

The  creation  of  Brahma  is  taken  as  its  commencement  and  each  of 
his  days  is  an  epoch.  They  assert  that  when  70  kalps  are  completed,  each 
consisting  of  4  Yugs^  and  the  total  of  these  being  4,320,000  years,  a 
Mann  appears.  He  is  the  offspring  of  the  volition  of  Brahma  and  his  co- 
operator  in  the  creation.  In  each  of  his  days  fourteen^  successive  Manns 
arise.  At  this  time  which  is  the  beginning  of  the  61st  year  of  the  age  of 
Brahma,  there  have  been  six  Manus,  and  of  the  seventh,  27  kalps  have  elapsed, 
and  three  Yugs  of  the  28th,  and  of  the  fourth  Yug,  4,700  years.  In  the  be- 
ginning of  the  present  Yug,  B^jd  Judhishthira  conquered  the  universe 
and  being  at  the  completion  of  an  epoch,  constituted  his  own  reign  an 
era  and  since  that  time  to  the  present  which  is  the  fortieth  of  the  Divine 
era,  4,696  years  have  elapsed.  It  continued  in  observance  3,044  years. 
After  him  Bikramajit*  reckoned  from  his  own  accession  to  the  throne  and 
thns  in  some  measure  gave  relief  to  mankind.  Ho  reigned  135  years.  In 
this  year  1652  years  have  since  then  gone  by.  They  relate  that  a  yoath 
named  Sdlbdhan,^  was  victorious  through  some  supernatural  agency  and

the  third,  864,000,  the  fonrth  432,000— 
being  a  total  of  4,320,000. 

*  The  first  is  Svayambhuva  (as  sprung 
from  Svayam-bhu,  the  self-existent,) 
the  author  of  the  famous  Code  :  the 
nett  five  are  Svarochesha,  Uttama, 
Timasa,  Baivata,  Chakshusha;  the 
terenth  is  called  Yaivasvata,  or  the 
Snn-bom  and  is  the  Manu  of  the  pre- 
inrt  period,— conjectured  to  be  Noah, 
as  the  first  is  thought  to  be  Adam.—

*  Thia  era  to  which  the  luni-solar  sys- 
tem is   ezoInsiTely    adapted    is   called 


Sanvat,  Vulg.  Sambat.  It  began  when 
3044  years  of  the  Kali  Tug  had  elapsed, 
».  e.,  67  years  before  Christ,  so  that  if 
any  year,  say  4925  of  the  Kaii  Yug  be 
proposed  and  the  last  expired  year  of 
Vikramaditya  be  required,  subtract  3044 
therefrom  and  the  result,  1881,  is  the 
year  sought.  To  convert  Samvat  into 
Christian  years,  subtract,  57;  unless 
they  are  loss  than  58  in  which  case 
deduct  the  amount  from  68  and  the 
result  will  be  the  date  B.  C.  This  era 
is  in  general  use  throughout  Hindustan 
properly  so  called.  —  Useful  Tables,  Part

took  the  B&J&  prisoner  on  the  field  of  battle.  Since  the  captive  was 
not  deserving  of  death,  he  treated  him  with  consideration  and  asked 
him  if  he  had  any  request  to  make.  He  replied  that  thongh  all  his  desire 
was  centred  in  retirement  from  the  world  and  in  the  worship  of  the 
one  Supreme  Creator,  he  still  retained  the  wish  that  his  era  might  not 
be  obliterated  from  the  records  of  the  age.  It  is  said  that  the  boon 
was  granted,  and  although  he  introduced  his  own  era,  he  did  not 
interfere  with  the  observance  of  tho  other.  Since  this  era,  1517  years  have 
expired,  and  they  believe  that  it  will  continue  in  use  for  18,000  years  more, 
after  which  Rajah  Bijiydbhinandan  will  institute  a  new  era  from  his 
own  reign  which  will  last  10,000  years.  Then  N4g4  Arjun  will  come  to 
the  throne  and  promulgate  another  era  which  will  continue  for  400,000 
years,  after  which  Kalki,^  whom  they  regard  as  an  avatar,  will  establish 
a  fresh  era  to  last  821  years.  These  six  are  considered  the  principal  eras 
and  are  called  Sdkd,  for  there  were  many  epochs  and  each  termed 
"  Sanpat."*  After  the  invasion  of  Sdlbdhan,  the  era  of  Bikramdjit  was 
changed  from  "  Sdk4  "  to  "  Sanpat."  After  the  expiration  of  these  six,  the 
Sat^  Yug  will  re-commence  and  a  new  epoch  be  instituted. 

The  Hindti  astronomers  regard  the  months  and  years  as  of  four  kinds — 
1st,  "  Saurmis,"  which  is  the  sun's  continuance  in  one  sign  of  the  Zodiac, 
and  such  a  year  consists  of  365  days,  15  ghajris,^  30  pals,  and  22^  hipals  ; 
2nd,  "  Chdndramds,"  which  is  computed  from  the  first  day  of  the  moon's 
increase  to  the  night  of  the  new  moon.  This  year  is  of  354  days,  22 
ghafis^  and  one  *  paV  The  beginning  of  the  year  is  reckoned  from  the

{tUhi).  Each  twelve  degrees  of  the  moon's  course,  reckoning  from  its 
departure  from  conjunction^  with  the  sun  is  a  Hthi :  and  from  the  slowness 
or  speed  of  the  moon's  progress  there  is  a  difference  in  the  number  of 
gh€tris  from  a  maximum  of  65  to  a  minimum  of  54.  The  first,  tithi  is 
called  Pariw4 ;  the  second  Diij  ;  the  third  Tij  ;  the  fourth  Chauth ;  the 
fifth  Panchami^ ;  the  sixth  Ghhafh ;  the  seventh  Saptamii^  ;  the  eighth 
Ashtami^  ;  the  ninth  Naumi^  ;  the  tenth  Dasmin  ;  the  eleventh  Ek^dasi  ; 
the  twelfth  Duiulasi ;  the  thirteenth  Tirtidasi ;  the  fourteenth  Ohaudas  : 
the  fifteenth  Piiranmdsi ;  and  from  the  16th  to  the  29th,  they  use  the  same 
names  up  to  the  14th.  The  30th  is  called  Am&was.  From  Pariwd  the 
1st  to  the  15th  they  call  Shuklapachoh,  and  the  other  half  Kishnpachch. 
Some  begin  the  month  from  the  1st  of  Kishnpachch.  In  their  ephemerides 
generally  the  year  is  solar  and  the  month  lunar.

would  amount  to  one  month,  and  according  to  the  reckoning  in  the  ephe- 
meris  would  occur  in  not  more  than  3  years  or  in  less  than  2  years  and  one 
month.  According  to  the  first  calculation,  there  is  this  difference  in  every 
twelve  months  and  in  such  a  year  they  reckon  one  month  twice  :  according 
to  the  latter  system,  in  every  solar  month  when  there  are  two  conjunctions  ;• 
and  this  must  necessarily  occur  between  Chait  and  Kn&r  (dsin)  and 
does  not  go  beyond  these  seven  months.  They  term  this  intercalary  month 
Adhik  (added),  vulgarly  called  Laund.^ 

The  third  kind  of  month  is  Sawan  Mds.  They  fix  its  commencement  at 
any  day  they  please  :  it  is  completed  in  thirty  days.     The  year  is  360  days.

The  fonrtli,  Nacbhattar,  is  reokoned  from  the  time  the  moon  quite 
any  mansion  to  her  return  thereto.  This  month  consists  of  27  days  and 
the  year  of  324. 

The  number  of  the  seasons  is,  with  them,  siz^  and  eacb  tbey  call 
Bitu.  The  period  that  the  sun  remains  in  Pisces  and  Ai*ies,  they  term 
Basant :  this  is  the  temperate  season :  when  in  Taurus  and  Gemini^ 
Qirekhamy  the  hot  season ;  in  Cancer  and  Leo,  Batrkha^  the  rainy  season ; 
in  Virgo  and  Libra,  Sard^  the  close  of  the  rainy  season  and  the  beginning 
of  winter ;  in  Scorpio  and  Sagittarius,  Hemanty  winter ;  in  Capricomus 
and  Aquarius,  Shishra,  the  season  between  winter  and  spring. 

They  divide  the  year  likewise  into  three  parts :  to  each  they  give 
the  name  of  Kdly  beginning  from  Phigun.  They  call  the  four  hot 
months  Bhupkdl;  the  four  rainy  months  Barihakdl  and  the  four  cold 
months  Sttkdh  Throughout  the  cultivable  area  of  Hindustan,  there  are 
but  three  seasons.  Pisces,  Aries,  Taurus  and  Gemini  are  the  summer ; 
Cancer,  Leo,  Virgo,  Libra,  the  rains;  Scorpio,  Sagittarius,  Capricomus 
and  Aquarius,  the  winter.  The  solar  year  they  divide  into  two  parts* 
Tne  first  beginning  with  Aries  to  the  extreme  of  Virgo  they  term 
Uttargoly  which  is  the  sun's  progress  to  the  north  of  the  Equator,  and  from 
the  beginning  of  Libra  to  the  extreme  of  Pisces,  BakkhangSl,  the  sun's 
course  to  the  south  of  the  Equator.  Also  from  the  first  of  Capricorn  to 
the  end  of  Gemini,  they  call  Uitardyany  the  sun's  northern  declination 
(the  summer  solstice)  :  and  from  the  1st  of  Cancer  to  the  end  of  Sagittarius 
Bachchhandyany  or  the  sun's  southern  declination  (the  winter  solstice). 
Many  eyente,  occurring  in  the  first  of  these  divisions,  especially  death, 
are  deemed  fortunate. 

The  Nycthemeron  they  divide  into  60  equal  parts  and  to  eacb  they 
give  the  name  of  ghaUs,  more  commonly  ghari,  Eacb  ghaj^  is  subdi- 
vided into  the  same  number  of  parts,  each  of  which  they  call  pal.  In  the 
same  way  they  apportion  the  pal,  and  each  part  they  term  ndri  and  also 
hipal.  Each  ndri  is  equal  to  six  respirations  of  a  man  of  an  equable  tem- 
perament, undisturbed  by  running,  the  emotions  of  anger  and  the  like. 

A  man  in  good  health  respires  360  times  in  the  space  of  one  ghart^ 
and  21,600  times  in  a  Nycthemeron.  Some  afi&rm  that  the  breath  whioh 
is  respired,  they  term  Swds  and  that  which  is  inspired  Parstodgy  and 
both  together  they  called  a  pardn.  Six  pardns  make  a  pal,  and  60  pcUs 
a  gharu     An  astronomical  hour  which  is  the  24th  part  of  a  Nycthemeron 


^  Of  two  sidereal    montbii  each,  the 

nooession  of  which  is  always  the  same : 

hat  the  yicissitiides  of  climate  in  them 


will  depend  upon  the  position   of  the 
equinoctial  oolnre.— U.  T.  II,  18.

They  reckon  from  the  creation  of  the  world,  which  in  their  belief  took 
place  8,884  Wans  and  60  years  preyiona  to  the  present  date.  Each  Wan 
m  10,000  years.  They  belieTe  that  the  duration  of  the  world  will  be  300,000

passage  though  Aquarius.  Mat^'u'ddin^  Maghrebi  places  it  at  the 
16th  degree,  others  between  the  16th  and  18th>  They  divide  the  Nycthe-

and  to  every  one  of  these  they  give  a  different  name. 

They  divide  the  Nycthemeron  also  into  Feneks.  For  this  computa- 
tion of  time  they  have  three  cycles,  viz^  8hdng  TFan,  Jung  Wang^  and

of  ten  and  a  series  of  twelve  symbols.  The  first  is  employed  for  the  nota- 
tion of  the  year  and  the  daj  ;  the  second  is  similarly  applied  and  is  like- 
wise horary.  By  the  combination  of  these  two  series,  they  form  the  cycle 
of  60  and  work  ont  detailed  calculations. 

The  Turkish  Era. 

Called  also  the  Aightiri.  It  is  similar  to  the  foregoing,  except  that 
this  cycle  is  based  on  the  series  of  12,  They  reckon  their  years  and  days 
after  the  same  manner,  but  it  is  said  that  some  astronomical  tables  also 
employ  the  series  of  10.  The  commencement  of  their  era  is  unknown. 
Abu  Baihdn  (Albirdni)  says^  that  the  Turks  add  nine  to  the  incomplete 
Syromacedonian  yeai*s  and  divide  it  by  12  :  and  in  whatever  animal  the 
remainder  terminates,  counting  from  the  Sign  of  the  Mouse,  the  year  is 
named  therefrom.  But  weighed  in  the  balance  of  experiment,  this  is 
found  wanting  by  one  year.  The  intention,  undoubtedly,  is  to  carry  tbe 
remainder  down  the  animal  signs  of  the  series,  and,  beginning  from  the 
Mouse,  to  adopt  the  name  of  the  animal  in  which  it  terminates.  Although 
the  commencement  of  the  era  is  unknown,  yet  we  gather  sufficient  informa- 
tion regarding  the  year  of  the  cycle  and  its  name.  And  if  7  years  be 
added   to   the  imperfect  years  of  the  Maliki  era,  dividing  by  12,  whatever

The  Beries  of  10  is  designated  in  China 
by  the  name  of  tien  lean  or  celestial 
signs.     Their  oharacters  and  names  are 

1.  K4a,  2.  yih,  8.  ping,  4.  ting.  6. 
woo.  6.  he,  7.  hang,  8.  kin,  9.  jin. 
10.  letoey. 

The  series  of  12  are  the  horary  cha- 
racters and  are  named  teche,  terrestrial 
signs,  they  are  as  follows  : 

1.  tsxe,  2.  chow.  3.  yin,  4.  moon.  5 
shin,  6.  8ze.  7.  woo.  8.  we,  9.  shin, 
10.  yew,    11.  seo,    12.  hoe. 

These  characters  being  substituted 
for  their  equivalent  letters  in  the  cycle, 
will  show  the  Chinese  name  of  every 


year ;  for  example.  Kea  U»e  is  the  first 
year.  Kong  yin  the  27th.  Their  months 
are  Innar  of  29  and  30  days.  Their  years 
ordinarily  12  months,  but  a  13th  added 
whenever  there  are  two  new  moons, 
while  the  son  is  in  one  sign  of  the 
Zodiac,  which  occurs  7  times  in  19 
years.  The  first  cycle,  according  to  the 
Jesuits,  began  in  February  2397  B.  C. ; 
we  are  now,  therefore,  in  the  72nd 
cycle,  the  28th  of  which  will  beg^ 
in  1890.  To  find  the  Chinese  time, 
multiply  the  elapsed  cycle  by  60,  and 
add  the  odd  years  :  then  if  the  time  be 
before  Christ,  subtract  the  sum  from 
2398 ;  but  if  after  Christ,  subtract  2397 
from  it ;  the  remainder  will  be  the  year 
required.

each  of  these  words,  which  signifies  year. 

The  Astrological  Era* 

The  astrologers  reckon  from  the  Creation  and  assert  that  all  the 
planets  were  then  in  Aries.  The  year  is  solar.  According  to  their  calcnla- 
tioo,  from  that  time  to  the  present  184,696  years  have  elapsed. 

The  Era  of  Adam. 

Its  beginning  dates  from  his  birth.  The  years  are  solar,  the  months 
lanar.  According  to  the  Elkhiini  tables,  5,353  solar  years  have  elapsed 
to  the  present  date.  But  some  of  those  possessing  a  book  of  divide 
revelation  make  it  6,346  solar  years ;  others  6,938  solar :  others  again, 
6,920,  solar,  but  according  to  what  has  been  reported  from  learned 
Christians,  it  is  6,793. 

The  Jewish  Era. 

Begins  with  the  creation  of  Adam.  Their  years  are  natural,  solar  r 
their  months,  artificial,  lunar.  They  reckon  their  months  and  days  like 
the  Arabians  according  to  an  intermediate  system.  The  year  is  of  two 
kinds,  viz.t  Simple,*  which  is  not  intercalary,  and  Composite,  in  which  an

The  Era  of  the  Deluge. 

This  era  is  computed  from  this  erent ;  the  year  is  natural,  solar,  the

the  Jewish  Lnni-solar  year  is  discussed. 
The  Jews  usually  employed  the  Era  of 
the  Seleucides  till  the  15th  century, 
and  though  some  insist  on  the  antiquity 
o^^heir  present  era,  it  is  generally  be- 
lieved to  be  not  more  ancient  than  the 
eentnry  named.  They  date  from  the 
Creation  which  they  number  at  8,760 
years.  Their  year  is  luni-solar,  of  12 
or  13  months  each  and  each  of  29  or  80 
days.  The  civil  year  commences  with 
or  immediately  aiter  the  new  moon 
following  the  equinox  of  autumn.  The 
length  of  the  year  of  12  months  varies 
between  858  and  355  days ;  that  of  13, 
may  contain  385.  In  19  years,  12  years 
have  12  months  each,  and  7  years  13 
months.  A  table  of  19  years  is  given 
in  the  Useful  Tables.  The  year  must 
be  divided  by  19  and  the  remainder 
will  show  the  year  of  the  Cycle.  If 
there  be  no  remainder,  it  is  the  19th 
year.  To  reduce  the  Jewish  time  to 
ours,  subtract  3761  and  the  remainder 
will  show  the  year.  The  ecclesiastical 
yeflur  begins  6  months  earlier  with  the 
month  of  Nls&u.  Consequently  when 
the  given  year  is  ecclesiastical,  deduct 
a  year  in  the  date  from  Nisin  to  B161

that  its  years  and  months  resemble  the  Sjro-Maoedonian.  It  has  the  same 
intercalations,  but  the  Coptic  intercalary  days  precede  those  of  the  Syro- 
Macedonian  by  six  months. 

The  Syro-Macedonian  Era. 
The  years  and  months  are  artificial,  solar,  and  they  reckon  the 
year  at  365}  days  exactly.  In  some  astronomical  observations,  the 
fraction  in  excess  is  less  than  }.  According  to  Ptolemy,  it  is  14  m.  48  ». 
The  Elkhani  observations  make  the  minntes  the  same,  bat  32  seconds 
and  30  thirds.  According  to  the  caJcalations  of  the  Cathayans^  the 
minates  are  the  same,  and  36  seconds,  57  thirds  ;  to  the  recent  Gnrgdni 
observations,  the  minntes  agree,  with  33  seconds ;  the  Maghrebi  has  12 
m. :  the  Battdni,  13  m.  36  s.  Mnhiyu'ddin  Maghrebi  says  that  some  of 
the  Syro-Macedonian  calculations  make  the  fraction  more  than  a  qnarter, 
others  less  than  a  quarter,  and  thus  a  quarter  has  been  taken  as  the 
medium.  Others  assert  that  the  Syro-Macedonians  have  by  observation 
determined  the  fraction  to  be  a  full  i.  Consequently  it  is  a  natural  solar 
year,  although  Mulla  'Ali  Ktishji^  makes  it  a  solar  year  even  on  the  first 
mentioned  basis.  This  era  dates  from  the  death  of  Alexander  the  second,^ 
BicomutuSj  but  was  not  employed  till  12  years  after  his  death.  Others 
assert  that  he  established  it  in  the  7th  year  of  his  reign  when  he  set  out 
from  Macedonia,  his  kingdom,  bent  on  foreign  conquest.  Mnhiyu'ddin 
Mughrebi  on  the  other  hand,  states  that  it  began  with  the  reign  of  Seleucns 
{Nicator)  who  founded  Antioch.^  This  era  was  in  use  both  with  the 
Jews  and  Syrians.  They  relate  that  when  Alexander  the  son  of  Philip 
marched  from  Greece  to  the  conquest  of  Persia,  he  passed  through  Je- 
rusalem. Summoning  the  learned  Jews  of  Syria  he  directed  them  to 
discontinue  the  Mosaical  era  and  to  employ  his  own.  They  thus  answered 
him.  "  Our  forefathers  never  observed  any  era  above  a  thousand  years 
and  this  year  our  Era  will  complete  the  thousand  ;  from  next  year,  there- 
fore, thy  command  shall  be  obeyed."  And  they  acted  accordingly.  And 
this  took  place  in  Alexander's  27th  year.     Some  maintain  that  this  Gre-

years  of  this  Era  to  those  of  the  Cbris- 
tians,  add  283  y.  240  d.  When  the  Dio- 
clesian  year  is  the  year  after  leap  year,  it 
begins  one  day  later  than  nsaal,  and  in 
consequence,  one  day  must  be  added  to

of  Alexander  Bicomntus,  but  that  he  called  it  after  his  son  to  exalt  his 
fame ;  and  he  has  based  on  it  the  calculation  of  the  mean  places  of  the

The  Christian  Era. 

Begins  with  the  birth  of  Jesns  Christ.  The  year  consists,  like  the 
Syro-Macedonian,  of  365  d.  5  h.  At  the  end  of  4  years,  they  add  a  day  to 
the  end  of  the  second  month.  The  beginning  of  their  Nycthemeron  is  rec- 
koned from  midnight.  Like  the  Arabians,  they  name  the  days  of  the  week, 
beginning  with  Snnday.  The  commencement  of  their  year,  some  take  to 
be  the  entry  of  the  son  in  Capricorn  :  others,  from  the  8th  degree  of  the 
same. 

The  Era  of  Antoninus  of  Borne, 
It  begins  with  his  accession.^      The  years  are  Syro-Macedonian,  the 
months  Coptic.     Ptolemy  determined  the  position  of  the  fixed  stars  in  his 
Almagest  on  this  era  of  which  1457  years  have  elapsed. 

The  Era  of  Diocletian^  of  Borne. 

He  was  a  Christian  emperor.  The  era  begins  with  his  accession.

ihe  rise  of  idolatry  in  Hijaz,  and  this  continued  in  nse  till  the  year  of 
the  Elephant,^  which  they,  in  turn,  observed  as  a  fresh  epoch.  Every 
Arab  tribe  constituted  any  important  event  in  their  history,  an  era.  In  the 
iome  of  the  prophet  this  thread  of  custom  had  no  coherence,  but  from  the 
date  of  the  Hijra,  they  gave  each  year  a  special  name.  Thus  that  year  was 
called  the  '  year  of  Permission,"  that  is,  the  permission  to  go  from  Mecca  to 
Medina.  The  second  year  was  named  the  "  year  of  Gommaiid,*'  i.  e  i^  to  fight 
the  unbelieyers.*  At  the  accession  of  the  second  Oaliph  (Omar),  AbuMusa 
Asha'ri,^  governor  of  Faman  made  the  following  representation:  '^Your 
despatches  have  arrived  dated  the  month  of  Shab&n.  I  cannot  dis- 
cover what  date  is  understood  by  Shftbdn."  The  Caliph  summoned  the 
learned.  Some  of  the  Jews  advised  the  use  of  their  era.  The  sage  Hdr- 
rnuz^n^  said ;  "  the  Persians  haye  a  computation  which  they  call  Mdhroz  " 
and  this  he  explained.  But  as  there  were  intercalations  in  both,  and  their 
skill  in  calculation  was  slight,  he  did  not  accept  either  but  adopted  the  era 
of  the  Hijrah.  The  month  according  to  their  system  is  reckoned  from  the 
sight  of  one  new  moon,  after  the  sun  has  completely  set,  till  the  next  is  visible. 
It  is  never  more  than  30  nor  less  than  29  days.  It  sometimes  occurs  that 
four  successive  months  are  of  30  days,  and  three  of  29.  Chronologers  put-

in  two  ways,  viz.y  Natural,  which  is  the  interval  of  the  moon's  departure  from 
a  determinate  position,  with  the  snn  in  conjunction  or  opposition  or  the  like* 
to  its  return  thereto;  2ndly,  Artificial;  since  the  motions  of  the  moon 
are  inconstant  and  their  methodisation  as  well  as  an  exact  discrimination 
of  its  phases  difficult,  its  mean  rate  of  motion  is  taken  and  thus  the  task  is 
facilitated.  In  the  recent  (Ourgdni)  tables,  this  is  29  days,  12  hours  and 
44  minutes.^  The  rule  is  this,  that  when  the  fraction  is  in  excess  of  half, 
it  is  reckoned  as  one  day.  Thus  when  the  excess  is  over  a  half,  they  take 
the  month  of  Muharram  as  30  days,  and  the  second  month  29,  and  so  on 
alternately  to  the  last.  In  common  years,  therefore,  D^i'l  Hijjah  is  29 
days.  The  mean  lunar  year  consists  of  354  d.  8.  h.  48  m.«  which  is  less 
than  a  solar  artificial  year  by  10  d.  21  h  12  m.  Mirza  Ulugh  Beg  has 
based  his  new  Canon  on  this  era  of  which  1002  years  have  elapsed  to  the 
present  time.* 

The  Era  of  Yazdajird, 
He  was  the  son  of  Shahrydr  Aparwez*  b.  Hurmuz  b.  Noshirwan.  It 
began  with  the  accession  of  Jamshid.  After  him  every  succeeding  mon- 
arch renewed  its  designation  by  his  own  accession  and  Yazdajird  also  re- 
instituted  it  from  his  assumption  of  sovereignty.^  The  years  are  like  the 
Syro-Macedonian  ;  but  the  fraction  in  excess  was  reserved  till  at  the  end  of 
120  years,  it  amounted  to  a  whole  month,  and  that  year  was  reckoned  at  13 
months.  The  first  intercalation  was  after  Farwardm,  and  it  was  called  by 
the  name  of  that  month.  Then  Urdibihisht  was  twice  counted  and  so  on. 
When  the  era  was  renewed  under  the  name  of  Yazdajird,  and  his  authority 
terminated  in  disaster,  the  continuity  of  intercalation  was  neglected. 
The  years  and  months  are  Artificial,  solar.     963  years  have  since  elapsed.* 


*  This  is  a  lunation  or  synodical 
month,  the  interval  between  two  con- 
janotions  of  the  Snn  and  Moon.  The 
periodical  month,  as  distingnished  from 
this,  is  the  time  taken  in  transit  by  the 
moon  from  any  point  of  the  Zodiac  back 
to  the  same  point :  it  consists  of  27  d. 
7  h.  43  m.  Hence  a  Innar  month  is 
sometimes  taken  in  roxmd  nnmbers  at 
28  d.  and  this  is  the  length  of  a  Innar 
month  according  to  the  law  of  England.

The  Mdliki  Era. 

It  is  also  called  Jaldli.  The  Persian  Era  was  used  at  tHai  period. 
Tbroagh  the  interruption  of  continnitj  in  intercalation,  the  commencements 
of  the  years  fell  into  confusion.  At  the  instance  of  Snl^dn  Jalilu'ddin^ 
Malik  Sh4h  Saljiiki,  Omar  Khayyam  and  several  other  learned  men  in- 
stituted this  era.  The  beginning  of  the  year  was  determined  from  the  sun's 
entry  into  Aries.  The  years  and  months  were  at  first  Natural,  but  now  the 
month  is  the  ordinary  Artificial.  Each  month  consists  of  30  days  and 
at  the  end  of  IsfanddrmuZf  they  add  5  or  6  days.  Of  this  era,  516  years 
baye  elapsed. 

The  Khdni  Era 

dates  from  the  reign  of  Ghdz&n^  Kh4n  and  is  founded  on  the  Elkhdni 
tables.  The  years  and  months  are  Natural,  solar.  Before  its  adoption  the 
State  records  bore  date  from  the  Hijrah  and  the  lunar  year  was  current. 
By  this  means  the  road  was  opened  to  grievous  oppression,  because  31 
lunar  years  are  equal  to  only  30  solar  years  and  great  loss  occurred  to  the 
agriculturiste,  as  the  revenue  was  taken  on  the  lunar  years  and  the  har- 
vest depended  on  the  solar.  Abolishing  this  practice  Qhiz&n  Khan  promo- 
ted the  cause  of  justice^  by  the  introduction  of  this  era.  The  names  of  the 
month  are  the  Turkish  with  the  addition  of  the  word  khdni.  Of  this,  293 
years  have  elapsed.

The  Ildhi  Era, 

His  Majesty  had  long  desired  to  introduce  a  new  computation  of  years 
and  months  throughout  the  fair  regions  of  Hindustan  in  order  that  per- 
plexity might  give  place  to  easiness.  He  was  likewise  averse  to  the  era 
of  the  Hijra  {Flight)  which  was  of  ominous  signification,  but  because  of  the 
number  of  short-sighted,  ignorant  men  who  believe  the  currency  of  the  era 
to  be  inseparable  from  religion,  His  Imperial  Majesty  in  his  graciousness, 
dearly  regarding  the  attachment  of  the  hearts  of  his  subjects  did  not  carry 
out  his  design  of  suppressing  it.  Although  it  is  evident  to  right-minded 
people  of  the  world,  what  relevancy  exists  between  the  market-coin  of 
commercial  dealing  and  the  night-gleaming  jewel  of  faith,  and  what  parti- 
cipation between  this  chain  of  objective  connection  and  the  twofold  cord 
of  spiritual  truth,  yet  the  world  is  full  of  the  dust  of  indiscrimination,  and 
the  discerning  are  heedful  of  the  fable  of  the  f ox^  that  took  to  flight  when 
camels  were  being  impressed.  In  992*  of  the  Novilunar  year,  the  lamp 
of  knowledge  received  another  light  from  the  flame  of  his  sublime  in- 
telligence and  its  full  blaze  shone  upon  mankind.  The  fortunately  gifted, 
lovers  of  truth  raised  their  heads  from  the  pillow  of  disappointment  and 
the  crooked-charactered,  drowsy-vnlled  lay  in  the  comer  of  disuse.  Mean- 
while the  imperial  design  was  accomplished.  Amir  Fatljiu'llah  Shir&zi,^ 
the  representative  of  ancient  sages,  the  paragon  of  the  house  of  wisdom,  set 
himself  to  the  fulfilment  of  this  object,  and  taking  as  his  base  the  recent 
Gurg&ni  Canon,  began  the  era  with  the  accession  of  his  Imperial  Majesty. 
The  splendour  of  visible  sublimity  which  had  its  manifestation  in  the  lord 
of  the  universe  commended  itself  to  this  chosen  one,  especially  as  it  also 
concentrated  the  leadership  of  the  world  of  spirituality,  and  for  its  cogni- 
tion by  vassals  of  auspicious  mind,  the  characteristics  of  the  divine  essence 
were  ascribed  to  it,  and  the  glad  tidings  of  its  perpetual  adoption  proclaimed. 
The  years  and  months  are  natural  solar  without  intercalation  and  the  Per- 
sion  names  of  the  months  and  days  have  been  left  unaltered.  The  days  of 
the  month  are  reckoned  from  29  to  32,  and  the  two  days'  of  the  last  are 
called  Boz  o  Shah  (Day  and  Night).  The  names  of  the  months  of  each  era 
are  tabulated  for  focility  of  reference. 


*  Gnlistan  I.  Story  XVI.  *  What  oon- 
neotion,  Madcap/  they  said  to  him  '  has 
a  oamel  with  thee  and  what  resemblance 
hast  thou  to  it  ?  *  Peace ! '  he  answered 
'  for  if  the  cnrioos  should ,  to  serve  their 


own  ends,  say  " — "  This  is  a  oamel,"  who 
would  care  about  my  release  so  as  to  in- 
quire ir.to  my  condition  ?"

A'fN  I. 

The  Commander  of  the  Forces, 

He  ifl  the  vicegerent  of  His  Majesty.  The  troops  and*  people  of  the 
province  are  under  his  orders  and  their  welfare  depends  npon  his  jnst  ad- 
ministration. He  mnst  seek  the  will  of  God  in  all  that  he  nndertakes 
and  be  constant  in  praise  and  snpplication.  He  most  never  lay  aside  the 
oonsideration  of  the  people's  prosperity  nor  suffer  his  zeal  to  sleep.  He 
mnst  not  be  prompt  to  vain  converse  or  asperity  of  manner.  Vigilance  and 
the  duo  distinction  of  ranks  must  be  his  care,  especially  towards  subordinates 
near  his  person  and  officials  at  a  distance.  What  is  the  duty  of  dependents 
must  not  be  committed  to  his  sons,  and  what  these  can'  perform  he  should 
not  execute  himself.  In  all  transactions  he  should  confide  in  one  wiser 
tlian  himself  and  if  he  can  find  none  such,  he  should  confer  with  a  few 
chosen  individuals  and  weigh  carefully  their  deliberations. 

It  haps  at  times,  the  hoary  sage 

May  fail  at  need  in  counsel  right,  ^ 

And  unskilled  hands  of  tender  age 

A  chance  shaft  wing  within  the  white.  < 

He  should  not  admit  many  men  to  his  secret  councils,  for  the  prudent, 
sealous,  warm,  disinterested  adviser  is  rare,  lest  one  of  them  should  pro- 
voke dissension,  and  opportunities  for  timely  action  escape.  He  should 
regard  his  office  of  command  as  that  of  a  guardian,  and  exercise  caution, 
and  making  a  knowledge  of  the  disposition  of  men  a  rule  of  government, 
live  as  it  behoves  his  office.  Levity  and  anger  he  should  keep  under  the 
res^int  of  reason.  He  should  reclaim  the  rebellious  by  a  just  insight 
into  the  conduct  of  affairs  and  by  good  counsel,  failing  which,  he  should 
be  swift  to  punish  by  reprimands,  threats,  imprisonment,  stripes  or  amputa- 
tion of  limb,  but  he  must  use  the  utmost  deliberation  before  severing  the 
bond  of  the  principle  of  life.  He  should  not  pollute  his  tongue  with  abuse 
which  is  the  manner  of  noisy  vagabonds  of  the  market  place.  He  should 
refrain  from  the  use  of  oaths  in  speech  for  this  is  imputing  falsehood  to 
himself  by  implication  and  distrust  in  the  person  he  addresses.  In  judicial 
investigations,  he  should  not  be  satisfied  with  witnesses  and  oaths,  but 
pursue  them  by  manifold  inquiries,  by  the  stady  of  physiognomy  and  the

exercise  of  foresight,   nor,  laying  the  burden  of  it  on  others,  live  absolved 
from  solicitude. 

Beware  lest  justice  to  that  judge  belong, 

Whose  own  ill-deed  hath  wrought  the  suppliant's  wrong. 
Let  him  not  inflict  the  distress  of  expectation  upon  supplicants  for 
justice.  He  should  shut  his  eyes  against  faults  and  accept  excuses,  and 
adopt  such  a  course  of  conduct  as  will  not  disparage  his  good  breeding 
and  dignity.  He  should  not  interfere  with  any  man's  creed.  A  wiso  man, 
in  worldly  affairs  that  are  transient,  seeks  not  his  own  loss,  why  then  should 
he  knowingly  abandon  the  spiritual  life  that  is  eternal,  iar  if  it  be  true,  dis- 
turbance is  criminal  and  if  otherwise  it  is  the  malady  of  ignorance  and  is 
deserving  of  kind  treatment.  Each  division  of  the  kingdom,  he  should  en- 
trust to  zealous  upright  men  and  provide  for  the  safety  of  the  roads  by  the 
establishment  of  trusty  guards  and  from  time  to  time  receive  reports  of 
them.  He  should  select  for  purposes  of  secret  intelligence  honest,  pro- 
vident, truthful  and  unavaricious  men,  and  if  such  needful  individuals  are 
not  to  be  obfained,  in  every  afEair  he  should  associate  several  who  are  un- 
known to  each  other  and  inspecting  their  several  reports  thus  ascertain  the 
truth.  His  expenditure  should  be  less  than  his  income,  and  from  his  trea- 
sury ho  should  sup])ly  the  needy,  especially  those  who  loose  not  their  tongues 
in  solicitation.  He  should  never  be  negligent  of  the  supplies  and  accoutre- 
ments of  the  troops.  He  should  not  refrain  from  the  practice  of  horse- 
manship, and  should  use  the  bow  and  the  matchlock  and  command  this 
exercise  to  his  men.  In  attaching  individuals  to  his  own  person  and  in 
the  increase  of  confidence,  he  should  employ  a  cautious  circumspection. 
Many  are  the  evil  dispositioned  and  licentious  of  nature  who  profess  sin- 
cerity and  sell  themselves  at  a  high  price.  He  should  turn  his  attention  to 
the  increase  of  agriculture  and  the  flourishing  condition  of  the  land  and 
earn  the  gratitude  of  the  people  by  the  faithful  discharge  of  his  obligations 
and  account  the  befriending  of  the  agriculturists  as  an  excellent  service  to 
the  Almighty.  He  should  retain  impartial  collectors  of  revenue  and  from 
time  to  time  obtain  information  regarding  their  actions.  Let  him  store 
for  himself  a  goodly  reward  in  the  making  of  reservoirs,  wells,  watercourses, 
gardens,  serais  and  other  pious  foundations,  and  set  about  the  repairing  if 
what  has  fallen  into  ruin.  He  should  not  be  given  to  retirement  nor  be 
unsettled  in  mind  which  is  the  manner  of  recluses,  nor  make  a  practice 
of  associating  with  the  common  people  nor  be  ever  surrounded  by  a 
crowd  which  is  the  fashion  of  blind  worshippers  of  outward  appearances. 

Court  not  the  world  nor  to  it  wholly  die ; 

Walk  wisely :  neither  phosnix  be  nor  fly.

Let  him  hold  in  honour  the  chosen  seifvants  of  Ood,  and  entreat  the 
assistance  of  spiritually-minded  anchorites  and  of  mendicants  of  tangled 
hair  and  naked  of  foot.  The  imploring  blessings  from  the  sun  and  the

tion and  pray  at  noon  and  at  midnight.  When  he  is  at  leisure  from  worldly 
a&irs  and  introspection  of  conscience,  he  should  study  works  of  philosophy 
and  act  according  to  their  precepts.  If  this  does  not  satisfy  his  mind,  he 
should  peruse  the  spiritual  admonitions  of  the  Masnawi*  and  regardless 
of  the  letter  imbibe  its  spirit.  He  should  entertain  his  mind  with  the 
instructive  stories  of  Kalila  and  Danma,  and  thus  gaining  a  knowledge  of 
the  vicissitudes  of  life,  regard  the  experience  of  the  ancients  as  his  own. 
Let  him  apply  himself  to  the  cultivation  of  true  knowledge  and  put 
aside  childish  tales.  Let  him  associate  with  a  discreet  and  trusty  friend 
aod  give  him  permission  to  look  carefully  into  his  daily  conduct  in 
order  that  he  may  privately  represent  whatever,  in  the  balance  of  his  dis- 
cretion, appears  blameworthy  and  if  at  any  time  his  penetration  should  be 
at  fault  he  should  not  be  thereat  displeased  for  men  have  ever  been  back- 
ward in  uttering  a  displeasing  truth  especially  in  a  season  of  anger  when 
reason  slumbers  and  the  spirit  is  aflame.  Courtiers,  for  the  most  part, 
seek  pretexts  of  evasion  and  lend  a  false  colouring  to  error,  and  if  perchance 
one  of  them  should  be  really  concerned,  he  will  hold  his  peace  for  fear, 
for  he  is  indeed  difficult  to  find  who  would  prefer  another's  benefit  to  his 
own  injury.  Let  him  not  be  roused  to  anger  by  the  representations  of 
detractors,  but  rest  in  the  path  of  circumspection,  for  men  of  evil  nature, 
dissemblers  in  speech,  palm  oft  their  tales  with  the  semblance  of  truth  and 
representing  themselves  as  disinterested,  labour  to  injure  others.  He 
should  not  consider  himself  as  fixed  of  residence  but  hold  himself  ever 
ready  for  a  summons  to  the  presence.  .Let  him  not  be  malevolent,  but 
prefer  courtesy  and  gentleness.  He  should  not  subvert  ancient  families 
hot  let  an  illustrious  ancestry  redeem  unworthy  successors.  Let  him  see 
thai  the  younger  among  his  followers  when  they  meet,  use  the  greeting  "  God 
is  great,"*  and  the  elder  reply  *  Glorious  is  His  Majesty."  Let  him  not 
take  as  food  a  sheep  or  a  goat  of  under  one  year  and  he  should  abstain 
from  flesh  for  a  month  after  the  anniversary  of  his  birthday.  He  shall 
nol  eat  of  anything  that  he  has  himself  killed.  He  should  restrict  him- 
self in  sensual  gratification  and  approach  not  a  pregnant  woman.     The

The  Fovjd&r. 

In  the  same  way  that  His  Majesty,  for  the  prosperity  of  the  empire, 
has  appointed  a  Oommander  of  the  forces  for  each  province,  so  by  his 
rectitude  of  judgment  and  wise  statesmanship  he  apportions  several  par- 
gaunahs  to  the  care  of  one  of  his  trusty,  just  and  disinterested  servants, 
appreciative  of  what  is  equitable,  and  faithful  to  his  engagements ;  and 
him  they  style  by  the  above  name.  As  a  subordinate  and  assistant  he 
holds  the  first  place.  Should  a  cultivator  or  a  collector  of  the  crown  lands 
or  an  assignee  of  government  estates  prove  rebellious,  he  should  induce 
him  to  submit  by  fair  words,  and  if  this  fail,  he  shall  take  the  written 
evidence  of  the  principal  officers  and  proceed  to  chastise  him.  He  should 
pitch  his  camp  in  the  neighbourhood  of  the  body  of  rebels  and  at  every 
opportunity  inflict  loss  upon  their  persons  and  property  but  not  risk  at 
once  a  general  engagement.  If  the  affair  can  be  concluded  with  the  in- 
fantry he  should  not  employ  cavalry.  He  should  not  be  rash  in  attacking  a 
fort,  but  encamp  beyond  bowshot  and  the  reach  of  its  guns  and  musketry,  and 
obstruct  the  roads  of  communication.  He  should  be  vigilant  against  night 
attacks  and  devise  a  place  of  retreat,  and  be  constant  in  patrolling.  When 
he  has  captured  the  rebel  camp,  he  must  observe  equity  in  the  division  of 
the  spoil  and  reserve  a  fifth  for  the  royal  exchequer.  If  a  balance  of 
revenue  be  due  from  the  village,  this  should  be  first  taken  into  account. 
He  should  constantly  inspect  the  horses  and  accoutrements  of  the  troops. 
If  a  trooper  be  without  a  horse,  his  comrades  should  be  assessed  to  pro- 
vide for  him  and  if  a  horse  be  killed  in  action,  it  should  be  made  good  at 
the  expense  of  the  State.    He  must  duly  furnish  a  roll  of  the  troops  present

The  Mir  A*dl  and  the  Kdzi. 

Although  tbe  supreme  authority  and  the  redress  of  grieyauoes  rests 
with  sovereign  monarchs,  yet  the  capacity  of  a  single  person  is  inadequate 
to  the  superintendence  of  the  entire  administration.  It  is  therefore 
necessary  that  he  should  appoint  one  of  his  discreet  and  unbiassed  servants 
as  his  judiciary  delegate.  This  person  must  not  be  content  with  witnesses 
and  oaths,  but  hold  diligent  investigation  of  the  first  importance,  for  the 
inquirer  is  uninformed  and  the  two  litigants  are  cognisant  of  the  facts. 
Without  fall  inquiry,  and  just  insight,  it  is  difficult  to  acquire  requisite 
certitude.  From  the  excessive  depravity  of  human  nature  and  its  covetous- 
ness,  no  dependence  can  be  placed  on  a  witness  or  his  oath.  By  impartia* 
lity  and  knowledge  of  character,  be  should  distinguish  the  oppressed 
from  the  oppressor  and  boldly  and  equitably  take  action  on  his  conclusions. 
He  must' begin  with  a  thorough  interrogation  and  learn  the  circumstances 
of  the  case  ;  and  should  keep  in  view  what  is  fitting  in  each  particular  and 
take  tbe  question  in  detail,  and  in  this  manner  set  down  separately  the 
evidence  of  each  witness.  When  he  has  accomplished  his  task  with  in- 
telligence, deliberation  and  perspicacity,  he  should,  for  a  time,  turn  to 
other  business  and  keep  his  counsel  from  others.  He  should  then  take  up 
the  case  and  reinvestigate  and  inquire  into  it  anew,  and  with  discrimina- 
tion and  singleness  of  view  search  it  to  its  core.  If  capacity  and  vigour 
are  not  to  be  found  united,  he  should  appoint  two  persons,  one  to  investigate 
whom  they  call  a  Kdzi ;  the  other  the  Mir  A'dl  to  carry  out  his  finding.

one  as  guildmaster,  and  another  as  broker,  by  whose  intelligence  the  business

frequent  reports.  He  should  see  to  the  open  thoroughfare  of  the  streets  and 
erect  barriers  at  the  entrances  and  secure  freedom  from  defilement.  When 
night  is  a  little  advanced,  he  should  prohibit  people  from  entering  or  leav-

shall  demand  a  tax  or  cess  save  on  arms,  elephants,  horses,  cattle,  camels, 
sheep,  goats  and  merchandise.  In  every  Stibah  a  slight  impost  shall  be 
levied  at  an  appointed  place.  Old  coins  should  be  given  in  to  be  melted 
down  or  consigned  to  the  treasury  as  bullion.  He  should  suffer  no 
alteration  of  value  in  the  gold  and  silver  coin  of  the  realm,  and  its 
diminution  by  wear  in  circulation,  he  shall  recover  to  the  amount  of  the 
deficiency.  He  should  use  his  discretion  in  the  reduction  of  prices  and 
not  allow  purchases  to  be  made  outside  the  city.  The  rich  shall  not  take

advanoea  of  monefy  and  raooTer  them  gradvally.  And  when  tlurough  the 
ezartionB  of  tbe  village  headman  the  full  rental  is  reoeived,  be  ehoold  allow 
him  half  a  hiswah^  on  each  highahj  or  otherwise  reward  him  according  to 
the  meaaore  of  his  services.  He  should  ascertain  the  extent  of  the  soil  in 
ooiktiyation  and  weigh  each  several  portion  in  the  scales  of  personal  observatixui 
and  be  aoqnainted  with  its  quality.  The  agricultural  value  of  land  varies 
in  different  districts  and  certain  soils  are  adapted  to  certain  crops.  He 
should  deal  differently,  therefore,  with  each  agriculturist  and  take  his  case 
into  consideration.  He  should  take  into  account  with  discrimination  the 
engagements  of  former  collectors  and  remedy  the  procedure  of  ignorance 
or  dishonesty.  He  should  strive  to  bring  waste  lands  into  cultivation  and 
take  heed  that  what  is  in  cultivation  fall  not  waste.  He  should  stimulate 
the  increase  of  valuable  produce  and  remit  somewhat  of  the  assessment 
with  a  view  to  its  augmentation.  And  if  the  husbandman  cultivate  less 
and  urge  a  plausible  excuse,  let  him  not  accept  it.  Should  there  be  no 
waste  land  in  a  village  and  a  husbandman  be  capable  of  adding  to  his 
cultivation,  he  should  allow  him  land  in  some  other  village.  He  should  be 
jaei  and  provident  in  his  measurements.  Let  him  increase  the  facilities  of 
the  husbandman  year  by  year,  and  under  the  pledge  of  his  engagements, 
take  nothing  beyond  the  actual  area  under  tillage.  Should  some  prefer 
to  engage  by  measurement  and  others  by  appraisement  of  crops,  let  him 
forward  the  contracts  with  all  despatch  to  the  royal  presence.  Let  him 
not  make  it  a  practice  of  taking  only  in  cash  payments  but  also  in  kind. 
This  latter  is  effected  in  several  ways.  First,  kanMt :  kan  in  the  Hindi 
language  signifies  gr^in,  and  kut,  estimate.  The  whole  land  is  taken  either 
by  actual  mensuration  or  by  pacing  it,  and  the  standing  crops  estimated 
in  the  balance  of  inspection.  The  experienced  in  these  matters  say  that  this 
comes  little  short  of  the  mark.  If  any  doubt  arise,  tbe  crops  should  be 
cut  and  estimated  in  three  lots,  the  good,  the  middling  and  the  inferior, 
and  the  hesitation  removed.  Often,  too,  the  land  taken  by  appraisement, 
gives  a  sufficiently  accurate  return.  Secondly,  hatdi,  also  called  bhdoli ; 
the  crops  are  reaped  and  stacked  and  divided  by  agreement  in  the  presence 
of  the  parties.  But  in  this  case  several  intelligent  inspectors  are  required, 
otherwise  the  evil-minded  and  false  are  given  to  deception.  Thirdly,  hhet 
h(Udi,  when  they  divide  the  fields  after  they  are  sown.  Fourthly,  Idng  bcUdi; 
after  cutting  the  grain,  they  form  it  in  heaps  and  divide  it  among  themselrea, 
and  each  takes  his  share  home  to  clean  it  and  turn  it  to  profit.  If  it  be 
not  prejudicial  to  the  husbandman,  he  may  take  the  value  of  the  com-bear-

voucher.     He  should  stipulate  that  the  husbandman  bring  his  rents  himself 
at  definite  periods  so  that  the  malpractices  of  low  intermediaries  may  be 
avoided.     When  fchere  is  a  full  harvest,  he  should  collect  the  appropriate 
revenue  and  accept  no  adjournment  of  payments  on  future  crops.    Who- 
soever does  not  cultivate  land  liable  to    taxation  but    encloses   it  for 
pasturage,  the  Collector  shall  take  for  each  buffalo  six  ddmSf  and  for  an  ox, 
three  ddms  yearly,  but  for  a  calf  or  a  buffalo  which  has  not  yet  calved,  he 
shall  make  no  demand.     He  shall  assign  four  oxen,  two  cows  and  one 
buffalo  to  each  plough  and  shall  lay  no  impost  on  these.     Whatever  is  paid 
into  the  treasury,  he  shall  himself  examine  and  count  and  compare  it  with 
the  day-ledger  of  the  kdrkwi,.     This   he  shall  verify  by  the  signature  of 
the  treasurer  and  placing  it  in  bags  under  seal,  shall  deposit  it  in  a  strong 
room  and  &sten  the  door  thereof  with  several   locks  of  different  construc- 
tion.    He  shall  keep  the  key  of  one  himself  and  leave  the  others  with  the 
treasurer.   At  the  end  of  the  month,  he  shall  take  from  the  writer  (hitikcht) 
the  account  of  the  daily  receipts  and   expenditure  and  forward   it  to  the 
presence.     When  two  lakhs  of  ddms  are  collected,   he  shall  remit  them 
by  the  hands  of  trusty  agents.    He  shall  carefully  instruct  the  patwdri  of 
each  village  to  enter  in  detail  in  the  memorandum  which  he  gives  to  the 
husbandman,  the  amount  he  receives  from  the  same;  any  balances  he 
shall  enter  under  each  name   in  a  book  and   forward  it  attested  by  the 
signatures  of  the  headmen ;  and  these,  ax)  the  next  harvest,  he  shall  recover 
without  distress.    He  shall  carefully  inspect  the  suyurghdl^  tenures,  sending

grantee  or  one  who  is  an  absentee  or  actually  in  service  of  the  state.  He 
should  take  care  that  land  cultivated  by  the  farmer  himself  and  not  by  the

property  of  the  absentee  or  of  him  that  dies  without  an  heir  he  should

granted  by  former  governments.  He  shall  not  make  the  occasions  of

with  the  minutest  particulars.  Every  month  he  shall  submit  a  statement 
of  the  condition  of  the  people,  of  the  jdgtrddra,  the  neighbouring  residents, 
the  submission  of  the  rebellious,  the  market  prices,  the  current  rents  of

and  record  below,  the  kind  of   produce  cultivated.     He  should  also  set 
down  the  village,  the  pergunnah  and   the  harvest,  and   subtracting  the 
deficiency  take  the  value  of  the  assets,  or  after  the  manner  of  the  people  of 
the  country,  inscribe  the  name,  the  kind  of  produce,  and  the  deficiency

and  forward  a  copy  of  the  survey,  called  in  Hindi  khasra  to  the  royal  court. 
When  drawing  out  the  rolls,  if  the  former  documents  are  not  available,  he 
should  take  down  in  writing   from  the  patwdri  the  cultivation  of  each 
husbandman  by  name  and  thus  effect  his  purpose,  and  transmit  the  roll  to- 
gether with  the  balances  and  collections  punctually,  and  he  shall  enter  the

AtN  VII. 

The  Treasurer.^ 

Called  in  the  language  of  the  day  Fofaddr^,  The  treasury  should  be 
located  near  the  residence  of  the  governor  and  the  situation  should  be 
such  where  it  is  not  liable  to  injury.  He  should  receive  from  the  culti* 
vator  any  kind  of  mohurs,  rupees  or  copper  that  he  may  bring,  and  not 
demand  any  particular  coin.  He  shall  require  no  rebate  on  the  august 
coinage  of  the  realm  but  take  merely  the  equivalent  of  the  deficiency  in 
coin- weight.  Coinage  of  former  reigns  he  shall  accept  as  bullion.  He  shall 
keep  the  treasure  in  a  strong  room  with  the  knowledge  of  the  shikddr^ 
and  the  registrar,  and  count  it  every  evening  and  cause  a  memorandum  there- 
of to  be  signed  by  the  Collector  and  compare  the  day-ledger  with  the  regis- 
trar's account  and  authenticate  it  by  bis  signature.  On  the  door  of  the 
treasury  as  sealed  by  the  Collector,  he  should  place  a  lock  of  his  own,  and 
open  it  only  with  the  cognisance  of  the  Collector  and  registrar.  He  shall 
not  receive  any  monies  from  the  cultivator  save  with  the  knowledge  of  the 
Collector  and  registrar,  and  he  shall  grant  a  receipt  for  the  same.  He 
shall  cause  the  patwdri^s  signature  to  be  affixed  to  the  ledger  known  in 
Hindustan  as  hakiy  so  that  discrepancy  may  be  avoided.     He  shall  consent

to  no  disbarsements  without  the  voncher  of  the  diwdn}  and  shall  enter 
into  no  usurious  transactions.  If  any  expenditure  should  be  necessary 
that  admits  of  no  delay,  he  may  act  under  the  authority  of  the  registrar 
and  shikddr  and  represent  the  case  to  government.  The  aforementioned 
duties,  from  those  of  the  commander  of  the  troops  up  to  this  point,  are 
primarily  under  the  direct  cognisance  of  the  sovereign  authority  and  as  no 
one  individaal  can  perform  them,  a  deputy  is  appointed  for  each  function 
and  thus  the  necessary  links  in  administration  are  strengthened. 

Currency  of  the  means  of  Subsistence, 

Since  the  benefit  and  vigour  of  human  action  are  referrible  to  bodily 
sustenance,  so  in  proportion  to  its  purity  is  the  spirit  strengthened ;  the 
body,  were  it  otherwise,  would  grow  corpulent  and  the  spirit  weak :  the 
thoughts  too  under  such  a  regimen,  incline  to  refinement  and  actions  to 
virtue.  The  seekers  of  felicity,  sober  in  conduct,  are  before  all  things 
particularly  careful  in  the  matter  of  food  and  do  not  pollute  their  hands 
with  every  meat.  To  the  simple  in  heart  who  fear  God,  labour  is  difficult 
and  their  means  of  living  straitened.  They  have  not  that  luminous  in- 
sight which  penetrating  to  the  essence  of  things,  dwells  in  repose,  but 
through  fear  of  the  displeasure  of  God,  are  sunk  in  exhaustion  of  soul  from 
the  pangs  of  hunger.  As  for  instance  in  the  case  of  the  man  who  possessed 
a  few  cows,  his  legitimate  property,  and  subsisted  on  their  milk.  By 
the  accident  of  fortune,  it  chanced  that  they  were  carried  off,  and  he 
passed  some  days  fasting.  An  active  fellow  after  diligent  pursuit  brought 
them  back,  but  he  would  not  accept  them  and  replied,  "  I  know  not  whence 
those  dumb  animals  have  had  food  during  these  past  few  days."  In  a  short 
space  this  simple  soul  died.  Many  tales  are  told  of  such  dull-witted  crea- 
tures who  have  thus  passed  away.  There  are  also  avaricious  worldlings 
who  do  not  recognize  the  difference  between  other  people's  property  and 
their  own,  and  gratify  themselves  at  the  expense  of  their  spiritual  and 
temporal  good.  The  ignorant  and  distraught  in  mind,  making  their  own 
necessities  an  occasion  of  spoilation  and  seizure,  prepare  for  themselves 
eternal  punishment. 

Simple,  innocent-minded  folk  consider  that  there  are  no  unappropriated 
waste  lands  and  were  they  obtainable,  it  would  be  difficult  to  furnish  the 
implements  of  cultivation,  and  if  these  could  be  had,  the  means  of  providing

revenne,  its  remittance  to  the  imperial 
treasnry  and  invested  with  extensive 
judicial  powers  in  all  civil  and  financial 
causes. — Ibid,

food  which  would  enable  them  to  labour,  are  not  manifest.  They  can  dis- 
coTer  no  mine  to  excavate,  and  if  one  were  pointed  out  to  them  which  had 
no  owner,  it  wonld  be  extremely  onerons  to  obtain  a  living  therefrom.  They 
are  averse  too,  from  the  profession  of  arms,  lest  dear  life  be  the  exchange 
for  base  lucre.  They  withdraw  themselves  also  from  commerce  for  this 
reason  that  n^^y  ask  a  high  price  for  their  goods,  conceal  their  deficiencies 
and  praise  them  for  qualities  which  are  not  in  them,  while  they  close  their 
eyes  to  the  evident  excellencies  of  what  they  purchase  and  disparage  it  for 
faults  it  does  not  possess,  preferring  their  own  benefit  to  another's  loss. 
And  they  disapprove  also  of  those  who  are  content  to  hold  lawful  the 
sequestration  of  the  goods  of  rival  sectaries,  and  they  affirm  that  if  the 
fautor  of  such  pretension  be  discerning  and  wise,  it  will  seem  an  occasion 
for  additional  anxiety  rather  than  a  sanction  to  retain  the  property  of 
another ;  for  how  can  the  illicit  seizure  of  what  is  another's  be  commend- 
able on  the  score  of  a  difference  of  faith  ?  On  the  contrary,  it  is  a  sugges- 
tion of  the  evil  one,  a  phantasy  of  the  dreams  of  the  avaricious  and  unfit 
for  the  ears  of  the  good.  At  the  present  time  His  Majesty  has  placed  a 
lamp  upon  the  highway  before  all  men,  that  they  may  distinguish  the 
road  from  the  pitfalls,  and  sink  not  into  the  slough  of  perdition,  nor  pass 
tbeir  dear  lives  in  unprofitableness. 

Since  there  is  infinite  diversity  in  the  natures  of  men  and  distractions 
internal  and  external  daily  increase,  and  heavy-footed  greed  travels  post 
haste,  and  light-headed  rage  breaks  its  rein,  where  friendship  in  this 
demon-haunted  waste  of  dishonour  is  rare,  and  justice  lost  to  view,  there  is, 
in  sooth,  no  remedy  for  such  a  world  of  confusion  but  in  autocracy,  and 
this  panacea  in  administration  is  attainable  only  in  the  majesty  of  just 
monarchs.  If  a  house  or  a  quarter  cannot  be  administered  without  the 
sanctions  of  hope  and  fear  of  a  sagacious  ruler,  how  can  the  tumult  of  this 
world-nest  of  hornets  be  silenced  save  by  the  authority  of  a  vicegerent  of 
Almighty  power  ?  How,  in  snch  a  case  can  the  property,  lives,  honour,  and 
religion  of  the  people  be  protected,  notwithstanding  that  some  recluses 
have  imagined  that  this  can  be  supernaturally  accomplished,  but  a  well- 
ordered  administration  has  never  been  effected  without  the  aid  of  sovereign 
monarchs.  That  fiery  wilderness  of  talismanic  power,  too,  is  haunted  by 
spells  and  sorcerers,  and  storms  of  confusion  from  this  sea  of  undiscern- 
ment  have  arisen  and  arise,  and  many  souls,  through  simplicity  and  short- 
sightedness, in  the  turbulent  billows  of  inexperience  have  been  and  are 
still  ever  engulfed,  while  those  who  by  the  light  of  wisdom  and  through 
the  grace  of  acceptance  have  bridled  their  desires  and  garnered  prorisions 
for  the  long  journey  to  come,  have,  in  the  cross-roads  of  distraction,  become

the  reproach  of  high  and  low,  for  their  folly,  irreligion  and  nnhelief.  In 
that  assembly  of  ignorance  should  a  philosopher  of  experience  enter,  he 
mast  needs  take  up  the  fashion  of  fools  and  so  escape  from  the  contumely 
of  the  base. 

It  is  evident  that  in  all  cultivated  areas,  the  possessors  of  property 
are  numerous,  and  they  hold  their  lands  by  ancestral  descenjj,  but  through 
malevolence  and  despite,  their  titles  become  obscured  by  the  dust  of  un- 
certainty and  the  hand  of  firmness  is  no  longer  stretched  above  them.  If  the 
cultivator  hold  in  awe  the  power  of  the  Adomer  of  the  universe  and  the 
Elixir  of  the  living,  and  the  merchant  turn  back  from  evil  designing  and 
reflect  in  his  heart  on  the  favour  of  the  lord  of  the  world,  the  depository  of 
divine  grace,  his  possessions  would  assuredly  be  approved  of  wisdom.  Thus 
the  virtue  of  property  lies  in  the  pledge  of  intention,  and  a  just  ruler,  like 
a  saltbed,  makes  clean  the  unclean,  and  the  evil  good.  But  without  honest 
coadjutors,  abundant  accessories  of  state  and  a  fall  treasury  even  he  could 
effect  nothing  and  the  condition  of  subserviency  and  obedience  would  lack 
the  bloom  of  discipline.  Now  the  man  of  robust  frame  should,  in  the  first 
place,  choose  the  profession  of  arms  and  reflect  on  the  assistance  which  he 
is  capable  of  rendering,  so  as  to  regard  his  life  as  devoted  to  the  task  of 
preserving  human  society  from  dissolution.  The  means  of  sustenance  are 
likewise  as  abundant  to  the  labourer  as  forage  for  his  cattle.  But  if  a 
man  is  unequal  to  this,  he  should  endeavour,  in  some  way,  to  enter  into 
the  number  of  state  servants.  Thas  the  currency  of  the  means  of  sub- 
sistence rests  on  a  twofold  basis,  viz,,  the  justice  of  sovereign  monarohs 
and  regard  to  the  welfare  of  well-disposed  dependents.  The  base  materia- 
list understands  not  the  language  of  reason  and  never  transcends  the 
limits  of  bodily  sense.  This  unfertile  soil  needs  the  water  of  the  sword, 
not  the  limpid  spring  of  demonstration.  In  the  presence  of  the  majesty  of 
the  prince,  the  proud  and  perverse  of  disposition  sink  into  obscurity 
while  the  prosperity  of  the  good  who  seek  after  justice  is  ever  continuous. 

Of  a  truth,  whatever  be  the  recompense  of  the  guardianship  over  the 
four^  priceless  elements  of  the  constitution,  it  is  both  meet  and  expe- 
dient and  according  to  the  Almighty  will.  To  the  watchmen  over  the 
house,  the  lord  thereof  appoints  the  guerdon,  and  to  the  watchmen  of  the 
universe,  its  shepherds.^  If  the  whole  of  a  man's  possessions  were  spent 
for  the  protection  of  his  honour,  it  would  be  but  fitting  if  in  gratitade  he 
further  pledged  his  whole  credit,  how  much  the  more  when  it  is  a  question 
of  the  guardianship  of  the  four  great  elements  of  State  polity  P  But  just  mo-

their  hands  with  avarice  ;  and  hence  it  is  that  this  principle  varies,  as  has 
heen  stated,  according  to  diversities  of  age  and  ooantry.  From  this  suggestive 
digression,  it  will  be  evident  that  whatever  circumspect  rulers  exact  from 
their  subjects  after  due  deliberation  and  to  subserve  the  interests  of  justice 
and  grant  to  their  submissive  dependents,  has  a  perfect  propriety  and  is 
nniyersally  in  vogue.  It  is  also  clear  that  the  maintenance  of  the  soldier 
should  be  ampler  and  more  choice.  Next  follow  the  cultivators  and  then 
other  artisans.  Ancient  Oreek^  treatises  a£Srm  that  professions  are  cir- 
cnmscribed  to  three  classes,  the  Noble,  the  Base,  and  the  Intermediate. 
The  former  refers  to  the  mind  and  is,  also,  of  not  more  than  three  kinds  : 
the  first  concerns  the  pure  intellect,  as  sagacity  and  capability  of  adminis- 
tration ;  the  second,  acquired  knowledge,  as  composition  or  eloquence  ;  the 
third  personal  courage,  as  military  duty.  The  Base  also  is  of  three  kinds ; 
the  first  is  opposed  to  the  common  weal  of  mankind,  such  as  the  hoarding 
of  grain :  the  second  is  the  contrary  of  any  one  virtue,  as  buffoonery ;  the  third 
is  such  as  the  disposition  is  naturally  averse  from,  as  the  trade  of  a  bar- 
ber, a  tanner  or  a  sweeper.  The  Intermediate  comprises  various  callings 
and  trades  ;  some  that  are  of  necessity,*  such  as  agriculture ;  others  which 
conld  be  dispensed  with,  as  dyeing ;  others  again  simple,  as  carpentry  and 
ironmongery ;  and  some  compound,  as  the  manufacturing  of  scales  or 
knives.* 

From  this  exposition  the  distinguished  character  of  the  military  pro- 
fession is  evident.  In  short,  the  noblest  source  of  maintenance  is  to  be 
fonnd  in  a  profession  which  is  associated  with  just  dealing,  self-restraint 
and  bravery  and  apart  from  evil  doing  and  sensuality.     The  good  regard

three  things  as  necessary  in  a  profession — avoidance  of  tyranny,  refraining 
from  what  is  dishonourable,  abstinence  from  all  that  is  mean ;  by  what  is 
dishonourable,  is  meant  baffoonery  and  the  like  low  pursuits ;  by  what  is 
mean,  is  understood  an  inclination  to  base  callings.* 

When  an  appropriate  means  of  maintenance  is  secured,  it  is  a  re- 
quisite condition  of  economy  to  husband  a  portion  of  one's  means,  provided 
that  the  household  is  not  thereby  straitened.  The  mendicant  should  not 
be  turned  away  disappointed  nor  subjected  to  the  reproof  of  covetousness 
and  greed.  The  proper  control  of  an  estate  is  conditional  on  the  expen- 
diture being  less  than  the  income ;  it  is  permitted  to  indulge  a  little 
in  commercial  speculation  and  engage  in  remunerative  undertakings, 
reserving  a  part  in  coin  and  valuables,  a  part  in  goods  and  wares, 
and  somewhat  invested  in  the  speculations  of  others,  and  yet  a  por- 
tion in  lands  and  immoveable  estates,  and  a  share  may  be  entrusted  to 
borrowers  of  credit,  and  expenditure  regulated  with  circumspection,  justice 
and  modesty.  Let  such  a  one  be  frank  in  kis  commercial  dealings  and  give 
no  place  in  his  heart  to  self-reproach.  He  should  keep  in  view  of  his  pur- 
pose, the  will  of  God,  not  the  hope  of  gratitude,  the  increase  of  reputation 
or  the  expectation  of  reward.  He  should  also  give  freely  to  the  needy 
whose  destitution  is  unexposed.  There  is  also  a  twofold  manner  of  muni- 
ficence which  if  exercised  in  just  measure,  is  meritorious.  Firstly,  what  is 
given  in  pure  generosity  or  largesse  such  as  a  present  and  the  like.  This 
should  be  done  quickly  and  secretly  and  without  setting  store  on  its  ampli- 
tude or  abundance,  nor  yet  so  as  to  cripple  one's  resources  or  exhaust  them. 

Secondly  what  is  called  for  by  occasional  exigencies,  either  in  pro- 
curing comforts  or  removing  grievances,  such  as  what  is  given  to  oppres- 
sors or  to  the  profligate  in  order  that  person,  property  and  honour  may 
escape  tbeir  injury.  But  in  this  he  should  use  moderation.  In  procuring 
the  conveniences  of  life,  however,  it  is  better  that  the  bounty  should  be 
liberal. 

People  of  the  world  in  the  matter  of  living  are  to  be  resolved  into 
tbree  classes.  One  class  are  fallen  into  such  heedlessness  that  spiritual 
needs  do  not  enter  their  comprehension,  much  less  are  practically  con- 
sidered. Another  through  their  luminous  fortune  are  so  immersed  in  the 
consideration  of  essential  truths  that  they  give  no  thought  to  their 
means  of  sustenance.  But  those  who  seek  the  felicity  to  come,  the  circum- 
spect in  conduct,  neglect  not  a  just  appreciation  of  life  but  make  external 


•  Aristotle  counts  among  these,  the 
mechanical  and  commercial  professions.

conditions  the  instrnment  of  interior  well  being  in  the  hope  of  admis- 
aion  among  those  absorbed  in  divine  love,  and  so  attaining  to  the  third 
degree  of  felicity,  whence  after  traversing  the  arid  waste  of  deliverance, 
thej  may  repose  in  the  second.^ 

The  dues  of  sovereignty  have  thus  been  set  forth.  The  circu- 
lation of  the  means  of  sustenance,  thus,  is  seen  to  rest  on  the  jus- 
tice of  prudent  monarchs  and  the  integrity  of  conscientious  depen- 
dents. And  because  the  conditions  of  the  royal  state  and  prerogative 
vary  in  different  countries,  and  soils  are  diverse  in  character,  some  pro- 
ducing abundantly  with  little  labour,  and  others  the  reverse,  and  as  ine- 
q[ualities  exist  also,  through  the  remoteness  or  vicinity  of  water  and  cultivated 
tracts,  the  administration  of  each  state  must  take  these  circumstances  in- 
to consideration  and  fix  its  demands  accordingly.  Throughout  the  whole 
extent  of  Hindustan  where  at  all  times  so  many  enlightened  monarchs  have 
reigned,  one-sixth  of  the  produce  was  exacted ;  in  the  Turkish  empire,  Iran 
and  Turin  a  fifth,  a  sixth,  and  a  tenth  respectively.  In  ancient  times  a 
capitation  tax  was  imposed  called,  khirdj.  Kubdd  disapproved  of  this  prac- 
tice, and  resolved  that  the  revenue  should  be  fixed  upon  arable  land 
accurately  surveyed.  But  his  death  occurred  before  he  could  accomplish 
his  design.  Noshirwan  (his  son)  carried  it  to  completion  and  made  the 
janb  of  ten  square  reeds.*  This  was  sixty  royal  yards  square.  One  fourth 
of  this  was  taken  as  a  kaJW  and  valued  at  three  dirhams,*  and  the  third  part 
was  fixed  as  the  contribution  due  to  the  state,  ^aftz  is  a  measure  called 
also  «aa*  weighing  eight  rafl,^  and,  some  say,  more.  The  dirhem  is  equal  in 
weight  to  one  mUkdh  When  the  Caliphate  fell  to  Omar,  at  the  suggestion 
of  the  learned,  he  adopted  the  plan  of  Noshirwdn  but  through   the  vicissi-

the  mystics,  the  third  stage  in  the  pro-

exact  from  the  husbandman  30  Akchehs  for  everv  yoke  of  oxen.  The

cultivated  by  Muslims  which  they  deem  U'shr.^  2nd,  Land  of  which  the 
proprietors  have  accepted  that  faith.  According  to  some,  this  is  U^shri,

of  the  Imim.  Srd,  Land  acquired  by  conquest,  which  some  make  Wshri

share  of  the  producing  body  is  in  excess  of  their  expenditure,  the  Zakdt^

tithe,  but  on  each  of  these  points  there  is  much  difference  of  opinion.

ed to  measure  buildings  of  stone  and  wood,  bamboo-built  houses,  places  of 
wonhip,  wells  and  gardens,  and  the  short  gaz  for  cloth,  arms,  beds,  seats 
of  state,  sedan  chairs,  palanquins,  chairs,  carts  and  the  like. 

In  some  other  countries,  although  they  reckon  the  gaa  as  consisting  of 
24  TWtt;,  they  make 


2  Habbah  (grain). 

2  Barley-corns. 

6  Mustard  seeds. 
12  Fab. 

6  Fatfla. 

6  Na^r.

1  Mustard  seed 
1  Fak

Some  make  4  Tassfij  equal  to  1  Ddng. 
6  Ding        „         1  Oas. 

Others  reckon  the  gaz  as  24  fingers,  each  finger  equal  to  the  breadth 
of  6  barley-corns,  and  each  barley-corn  equal  in  thickness  to  6  hairs  from 
the  mane  of  a  cob.  In  some  ancient  books  they  make  the  ga%  equal  to  two 
spans  and  twice  round  the  joint  (girth)  of  the  thumb,  and  they  divided  it 
into  16  girih  and  each  girth  was  subdivided  into  4  parts  which  they 
called  4  pahr^  so  that  a  pahr  was  the  sixty -fourth  part  of  a  gaz. 

In  other  ancient  records  the  gaz  is  reckoned  of  seven  kinds.  1st,  The 
Qttz  i  8amda  (Oa»  of  traffic)  consisting  of  24  digits  and  two- thirds  of  a 
digit  Hariin  At  Rashid  of  the  House  of  'Abb&s  took  this  measure  from  the 
hand  of  an  Abyssinian  slave  who  was  one  of  his  attendants  :  the  Nilometer* 


In  Arabic,  it  ia  a  weight  of  2  barley-corns, 
a  quarter  of  a  3^^  ag  the  24th  part  of  a 
i:  the  plur.  is  ^'"^.  It  also 
a  district  or  province  or  a  town-

2nd,  Zirda'  i  kashahy  (Reed-yard)  called  also  A^dmah^  and  Bauty  of  24 
digits :  this  was  introduced  by  Ibn  Abi  Laila.^  3rd,  The  Yusufiyah,  used 
by  the  provincial  governors  of  Baghdad  for  the  measurement  of  houses :  it 
consisted  of  25  digits.  4ih,  The  short  Hdshimtyah,  of  28  digits  and  a 
third.  BiUl*  the  son  of  Abi  Bardah  introduced  it:  according  to  some 
it  was  Abu  Mdsa  Ash'ari  his  grandfather.  5th,  The  long  Hdshimiyah  of 
29  digits  and  two-thirds  which  Man^dr  the  A'bbaside  favoured.  It  is  also 
called  the  Malik  and  Ziyddtyah,  Zijidfi  was  the  so-called  son  of  Abd 
Sufiyin  who  used  it  to  measure  the  lands  in  Arabian  I'dLl^.  6th,  The 
Omartydh  of  31  digits.  During  his  Caliphate,  Omar  carefally  considered 
the  long,  short  and  middling  gaz,^  He  took  the  three  kinds  together  and 
to  one-third  of  the  aggregate  he  added  the  height  of  the  closed  fist  and  the 
thumb  erect.  He  closed  both  ends  of  the  measure  with  tin  and  sent  it  to 
Hudaifah^  and  Otl^mdn^-b-Hunaif  which  they  used  for  the  measurement 
of  the  villages  in  Arabian  Ir^k.  7th,  The  Mdniuniyah  of  70  digits  less  a 
third.  Mamdn  brought  it  into  use,  and  it  was  employed  for  measuring 
rivers,  plains  and  road  distances. 

Some  in  former  times  reckoned  the  cloth-measure  {gaz)  to  be  seven  times 
the  fist,  and  the  fist  was  equal  to  four  fingers  closed ;  according  to  others, 
one  finger  less.  The  survey  gaz^  according  to  some,  was  the  same  seven 
fists :  others  made  it  seven  fists  together  with  one  finger  (thumb  P)  erect 
added  to  the  seventh  fist.  Others  again  added  another  finger  to  that  fist ; 
while  some  made  it  seven  fists  with  one  finger  adjoined  to  each  fist.

lish inches.  Some  allowance  must  pro- 
bably be  made  for  the  broad  hand  of  a 
negro,  but  the  other  measnres  will  not  be 
affected  by  the  same  error,  as  they  most 
be  referred  to  the  ordinary  delicate  hand 
of  a  native  of  Asia.  A  finger's  breadth 
may  be  safely  taken  as  three  quarters 
of  an  inch.    Useful  Tables,  pp.  87,  88.

Snitan  Sikander  Lodi  in  Hindustin  introduced  another  gaz  of  the 
breadth  of  41  IsJeandaris  and  a  half.  This  was  a  copper  coin  mixed  with 
silTer.  Hmnaydn  added  a  half  and  it  was  thus  completed  to  42.  Its  length 
WM  32  digits.  Bat  some  authors  anterior  to  his  time  make  mention  of  a 
similar  measnre.  Sher  Khdn  and  Salim  Khan,^  under  whom  Hindustan  was 
released  from  the  custom  of  dividing  the  grain  and  its  apportionment,  in 
measuring  land  used  this  goui.  Till  the  thirty  first-year  of  the  Divine 
Era,  although  the  Akbar  8hdhi  gaz  of  46  fingers  was  used  as  a  cloth-mea- 
sure, the  Iskandari  gaz  was  used  for  cultivated  lands  and  buildings.  His 
Majesty  in  his  wisdom,  seeing  that  the  variety  of  measures  was  a  source  of 
inconvenience  to  his  subjects,  and  regarding  it  as  subservient  only  to  the 
dishonest,  abolished  them  all  and  brought  a  medium  gaz  of  41  digits  in- 
to general  use.  He  named  it  the  Ildhi  gaz  and  it  is  employed  by  the  public 
for  all  purposes. 

ArN  IX. 
The  Tandb.^ 
His  Majesty  fixed  for  the  jarib  the  former  reckoning  in  yards  and 


*  Of  the  family  of  Sdr  who  reigned 
between  the  expnision  and  restoration  of 
Hamaynn. 

'  The  Tandhf  Jar^b  and  B{gha  eeem  to 
hare  been  indiBoriminately  need  as  near- 
ly interchangeable  terms.  The  Jarih 
in  its  origmal  nse,  according  to  Wilson 
(Glossazy),  was  a  measure  of  capacity 
equal  to  60  kafla  or  884  madd,  abont  768 
pounds.  It  then  became  applied  to  a 
land  measnre,  or  as  much  land  as  could 
be  sown  with  a  JarOt  of  seed-corn,  and 
then  appears  to  have  been  loosely  used 
for  a  Ugha.  In  course  of  time  it  occurs 
as  a  measure  of  land  of  various  extent, 
ud  as  the  chain  or  rope  for  measuring. 
In  the  N.  W.  P.  the  measurements  were 
made  by  a  chain,  and  the  jar^b  is » to  6 
diains  of  11  yards  each,  or  to  60  gras  or 
90  ga^has  or  knots.  A  square  of  one 
Jar{b  is  a  h(gha.  Before  the  new  system 
of  surrey,  it  was  usual  to  measure  lands 
paying  revenue  with  2k  jarih  of  18  knots 
^mly,  two  being  coiled  round  the  mea- 
iuror,  but  free  lands  were  measured  with 


the  entire  rope  of  20  knots.  In  Sindh 
a  jarih  is  a  measure  of  a  150  square  feet. 
In  Telegu,  it  is  applied  to  garden  land 
or  its  produce.  The  standard  bigha  of 
the  revenue  surveyors  of  the  N.  W.  P.  is» 
to  8,026  sq.  yds.  or  |  of  an  acre.  In 
Bengal  the  Ugha  contained  only  1,600  sq. 
yds.  or  a  little  less  than  i  of  an  acre.  In 
Benares  at  the  time  of  the  settlement, 
it  was  determined  at  8,186  sq.  yds.  In 
other  perganahs  it  was  equal  to  2,025  to 
8,600  or  8,926  sq.  yds.  A  hachha  bigha 
is  in  some  places  a  third,  in  others  only 
a  fourth  of  a  full  Ugha,  Akbat's  higha 
of  8,600  Ilahi  ga»  was  considered « to 
3,026  sq.  yds.  of  the  htgha  of  Hindustan. 
In  Outtack  the  higha  is  now  considered 
to  be  an  English  acre.  The  Haratha 
bigha  is  called  20  ptfi^  or  400  sq.  hUhis 
or  rods  of  (each)  5  cubits  and  6  hand- 
breadths.  The  Guserit  bigha  contains 
only  284)  sq.  yds.  Mr.  Elliot  specifies 
six  rariations  found  in  the  Upper  Pro- 
vinces. See  Wilson's  Gloss,  under 
Bigha  and  Jan 6.

chose  the  measurement  of  sixty  square,  but  adopted  the  Ildki  gaz.  The 
Tandb  (tent  rope)  was  in  Hindustan  a  measure  of  hempen  rope  twisted 
whioh  became  shorter  or  longer  aooording  to  the  dryness  or  moisture  of  the 
atmosphere.  It  would  be  left  in  the  dew  and  thus  fraudfully  moistened. 
Oftentimes  it  would  be  employed  in  the  eaiiy  morning  when  it  had  got 
damp  and  had  shrunk,  and  by  the  end  of  the  day  it  had  become  dry  and  had 
lengthened.  In  the  former  case,  the  husbandmen  suffered  loss,  in  the 
latter  the  royal  revenues  were  diminished.  In  the  19th  year  of  the  Divine 
era,  the  jar^b  was  made  of  bamboos  joined  by  iron  rings.  Thus  it  is  sub- 
ject to  no  variation,  and  the  relief  to  the  public  was  felt  everywhere  while 
the  hand  of  dishonest  greed  was  shortened. 

AFN  X. 

The  B4gha 

Is  a  name  applied  to  iYi^jarih.  It  is  a  quantity  of  land  60  gaz  long 
by  60  broad.  Shonld  there  be  any  diminution  in  length  or  breadth  or 
excess  in  either,  it  is  brought  into  square  measure  and  made  to  consist  of 
3600  square  ga».^  They  divide  the  higha  into  20  parts,  each  of  which  is 
called  hiawah^  and  this  is  divided  again  into  20  parts  each  of  which  is 
termed  hiswdmah.  In  measuring  they  reduce  no  further.  No  revenue 
is  required  from  9  hisw6n$dh^  but  ten  they  account  as  one  hiswah.  Some, 
however,  subdivide  the  bisw&nsah  into  20  parts,  each  of  which  they  called 
tjLawom9a\  whioh  they  again  divide  into  20  parts,  calling  each  tapwAnsah. 
This  again  they  partition  in  20  portions,  and  name  them  severally  antvodn- 
sah.  A  higha  as  measured  by  the  tan6h  of  hemp,  was  two  hUtoah  and  12 
hiswamah  smaller  in  extent  than  the  higha  measured  by  the  tanah  of  bam- 
boo. This  makes  a  difference  of  10  higha  in  a  hundred.  Although  the 
tanah  of  hemp  was  of  60  gaz^  yet  in  the  twisting  it  shrunk  to  56.  The 
Ilahi  goM  was  longer  than  the  libandari  by  one  hiswahj  16  hinodnsah^  13 
tanodAMoh^  8  tapwdmdky  and  4  answdneah.  The  difference  between  the  two 
reduced  the  higha  by  14  himoah^  20  hiswdnsah,  13  taswdnsah^  8  *apwdnsah^ 
and  4  answdnsah.  In  one  hundred  highas  the  variation  in  the  two  measures 
amounted  to  22  highas,  3  hiswah  and  7  hiswdnsah.

m  his  profound  sagacity  he  classified  the  lands  and  fixed  a  different  reyenue 
to  be  paid  bj  each. 

Polaj  is  land  which  is  annually  cultivated  for  each  crop  in  succession 
and  is  never  allowed  to  lie  fallow. 

Paraufi  is  land  left  out  of  cultivation  for  a  time  that  it  may  recover  its 
strength. 

Chtichar  is  land  that  has  lain  fallow  for  three  or  four  years. 

Bcmjar  is  land  uncultivated  for  five  years  and  more. 

Of  the  two  first  kinds  of  land,  there  are  three  classes,  good,  middling 
and  bad.  They  add  together  the  produce  of  each  sort,  and  a  third  of  this 
representR  the  medium  produce,  one-third  part  of  which  is  exacted  as  the 
royal  dues.  The  revenue  levied  by  8her  Kh4n,  which  at  the  present  day  is 
represented  in  all  provinces  as  the  lowest  rate  of  assessment,  generally  ob- 
tained, and  for  the  convenience  of  the  cultivators  and  the  soldiery,  the 
value  was  taken  in  ready  money.

Parauti  land  when  cultivated,  pays  the  same  revenue  aa  potaj. 

His  Majesty  in  his  wisdom  thas  regalated  the  revenues  in  the  aboTe- 
mentioned  favourable  manner.  He  reduced  the  duty  on  manufactures 
from  ten  to  five  per  cent,  and  two  per  cent,  was  divided  between  the  patwari 
and  the  kanungo.  The  former  is  a  writer  employed  on  the  part  of  the 
cultivator.  He  keeps  an  account  of  receipts  and  disbursements,  and  no 
village  is  without  one.  The  latter  is  the  refuge  of  the  husbandman.  There 
is  one  in  every  district.  At  the  present  time  the  share  of  the  kanungo  (one 
per  cent.)  is  remitted  and  the  three  classes  of  them  are  paid  by  the  State 
accordding  to  their  rank.  The  salary  of  the  first  is  fifty  rupees:  of  the 
Becoud,  thirty ;  of  the  third,  twenty ;  and  they  have  an  assignment  for 
personal  support  equivalent  thereto.  It  was  the  rule  that  the  commissaries 
of  the  shikkdar,  karkun,^  and  Amin  should  receive  daily  58  ddms  as  a 
peiquisite,  provided  that  in  spring  they  did  not  measure  less  than  200,  nor 
in  autumn  less  than  250  bighas.  His  Majesty  whose  heart  is  capacious  as 
the  ocean,  abolished  this  custom  and  allowed  only  one  dam  for  each  higha. 

Many  imposts,  equal  in  amount  to  the  income  of  Hindustdn  were 
remitted  by  His  Majesty  as  a  thank-offering  to  the  Almighty.  Among 
these  were  the  following  ; 

The  capitation  tax. 

The  port  duties. 

Tax*  per  head  on  gathering  at  places  of  worship. 

A  tax  on  each  head  of  oxen. 

A  tax  on  each  tree. 

Presents. 

Distraints. 

A  tax  on  the  various  classes  of  artificers. 

Bdrogha^a  fees. 

Tahsilddr's  fees. 

Treasurer's  fees. 

Complimentary  offerings  on  receiving  a  lease  and  the  like. 

Lodging  charges. 

Money  bags. 

Testing  and  exchanging  money. 

Market  duties.

AfN  XII. 

Ghachar  land. 
When  either  from  excessive  rain  or  through  an  inundation,  the  land 
falls  out  of  cultivation,  the  husbandmen  are,  at  first,  in  considerable  distress. 
In  the  first  year,  therefore,  but  two  fifths  of  the  produce  is  taken  :  in  the 
second  three-fifths ;  in  the  third,^  four-fifths  and  in  the  fifth,  the  ordinary  re- 
TCDue.  According  to  differences  of  situation,  the  revenue  is  paid  either  in 
money  or  in  kind.  In  the  third  year  the  charges  of  5  per  cent,  and  ono  ddm 
for  each  higha^  are  added.

fonr-fifths  each  " 

•  I  take  the  J  between  ^  J  J^6  to  be

Five  per  cent,  was  levied  on  mannfac-

translates  as  I  have  done.

AfN  XIV. 

The  Ninetepi  Years  Batesfi 

Intelligent  people  have  from  time  to  time  set  themselves  to  record  the 
prices  current  of  the  Empire,  and  after  careful  inquiry  the  valuation  of  grain 
was  accepted  on  this  basis. 

The  revenue  rates  for  a  htgha  of  polaj  land  were  fixed  as  has  been 
stated.  From  the  6th  year  of  the  Divine  Era  which  runs  with  the  Novi- 
hnar  year  968  (A.  D.,  1560-1)  and  concluding  with  the  24th  year  of  this 
rwgn,  the  statistics  were  collected  and  have  been  tabulated  for  reference 
after  the  most  diligent  investigation.  The  figures  are  entered  under  the 
heading  of  each  year.

AIN  15. 

The  Ten  Years'  Settlement.  • 

Prom  tlie  beginning  of  this  immortal  reign,  persons  of  intelligence 
and  void  of  rapacity,  together  with  zealous  men  of  experience,  have  been 
annually  engaged  in  noting  the  current  prices  and  reporting  them  to  His 
Majesty,  and  taking  the  gross  produce  and  estimating  its  value,  they  deter- 
mined the  rates  of  collection,  but  this  mode  was  attended  with  consider- 
able inconvenience.  When  Khwajah  Abdul  Majid  Asaf  Khan^  was 
raised  to  the  dignity  of  Prime  Minister,  the  total  revenue  was  taken  at  an 
estimation,*  and  the  assignments  were  increased  as  the  caprice  of  the 
moment  suggested.  And  because  at  that  time  the  extent  of  the  empire  was 
small,  and  there  was  a  constant  increase  of  dignities  among  the  servants  of 
the  State,  the  variations  were  contingent  on  the  extent  of  corruption  and 
self-interest.  When  this  great  oflfice  devolved  on  Muzaffar  Khan^  and  Rajah 
Todar  Mull,  in  the  15th  year  of  the  reign,  a  re-distribution  of  the  imperial 
assessment  was  made  through  the  kanuvgos,  and  estimating  the  produce  of 
the  lands,  they  made  a  fresh  settlement.  Ten  kanungos  were  appointed 
who  collected  the  accounts  from  the  provincial  kanungos  and  lodged  them 
in  the  imperial  exchequer.  Although  this  settlement  was  somewhat  less 
than  the  preceding  one,  nevertheless  there  had  been  formerly  a  wide 
discrepancy  between  the  estimate  and  the  receipts. 

When  through  the  prudent  management  of  the  Sovereign  the  empire 
was  enlarged  in  extent,  it  became  diflScult  to  ascertain  each  year  the  prices 
current  and  much  inconvenience  was  caused  by  the  delay.  On  the  one  hand 
the  husbandman  complained  of  extensive  exactions,  and  on  the  other  the 
holder  of  assigned  lands  was  aggrieved  on  account  of  the  revenue  balances. 
His  Majesty  devised  a  remedy  for  these  evils  and  in  the  discernment  of 
his  world-adorning  mind  fixed  a  settlement  for  ten  years  :  the  people  were 
thus  made  contented  and  their  gratitude  was  abundantly  manifested. 
From  the  beginning  of  the  15th  year  of  the  Divine  era  to  the  24th,  an 
aggregate  of  the  rates  of  collection  was  formed  and  a  tenth  of  the  total 
was  fixed  as  the  annual  assessment ;  but  from  the  20th  to  the  24th  year 
the  collections  were  accurately  determined  and  the  five  former  ones  ac- 
cepted on  the  authority  of  persons  of  probity.  The  best  crops  were  taken 
into  account  in  each  year  and  the  year  of  the  most  abundant  harvest 
accepted,  as  the  table  shows.

*  The  Dastur  u*l  A*mal  is  a  body  of 
instrnotions  and  tables  for  the  use  of 
oatiTe  revenne  officers  under  the  Maho- 
medan  Goyemment.  Although  profess- 
ing to  be  copied  from  the  original  of 
Akbar,  no  two  copies  agree,  owing,  as 
Mr.  £lliot  conjectures,  to  their  having 
been  made  up,  in  various  degrees  of 
oinnpleteness,  from  another  account  left 
I7  the  Kanungoe,  the  A^mal-dastur,  in 
which  orders  superseding  those  of  the 
Dfli*w  u*l  Amal  were  registered.  Wil- 
ton's Gloss. 

•  There  is  probably  an  error  here  as 
a  note  to  the  text  suggests.— The  MSS. 
all  differ  in  the  names  of  the  various 
jnryanaAa  of  this  district. 

'  In  Tieffenthaler's  Geographic  de 
nBdoaatan  (Bernoulli.  Descript  de  Tin- 

12 


de.  Vol.  I)  the  above  names  with  one 
exception  are  mentioned  with  the  addi- 
tion of  Kheragafh.  A  note  in  the  text 
of  Abul  Fazl  supplies  this  omission. 

^  This  makes  but  six,  which  is  the 
number  given  by  Tieffenthaler  whose 
names,  however,  vary  somewhat  from 
the  text. 

*  This  is  the  name  in  the  note  to  the 
text  and  I  have  given  it,  as  it  accords 
with  Tieffenthaler  t  the  text  itself  has 
Talhanu 

•  I  am  extremely  doubtful  as  to  the 
orthography  of  these  names — the  MSS. 
confessedly  vary  and  many  of  these 
places  have  doubtless  ceased  to  exist. 
The  importance  of  their  true  spelling  and 
pronunciation  scarcely  justifies  the  la- 
bour of  an  extensive  research.

'  The  term  sawdd  is  usoally  applied 
to  the  towns  and  villages  of  Arabian 
Irak,  as  those  in  Khurasan,  are  called 
rustd}Cf  and  in  Arabia  Felix  mahhdlif. 

*  This  name  does  not  oocnr  in  the 
account  of  Lahore  later  on.  The  vari- 
ants are  Barhidtf  Barhdt,  Barsdhdt,  Bar- 
sahasdt.  It  is  scarcely  necessary  to  note 
that  the  words  Bdri  and  Rachna  in  con-' 
nection  with  Dodb  are  formed  by  the 
crasis  of  Beds  and  Rdvij  in  the  former 
case,  and  Bdvi  and  Chendb  in  the  latter. 

•  Tappah  denotes  a  small  tract  or  di- 
vision of  country  smaller  than  a  par- 
ganah  bat  comprising  one  or  more 
villages.    In  some  parts  of  the  North- 


West,  it  denotes  a  tract  in  which  there 
is  one  principal  town  or  a  large  village 
with  lands  and  villages  dependent  on 
them  :  or  a  cluster  of  villages  acknow- 
ledging the  supremacy  of  one  amongst 
them  and  forming  a  sort  of  corporate

Note. — I  cannot  nnderstand  nor  explain  the  notation  in  Mnsaffaris  and  am  not 
sure  if  I  hare  interpreted  it  correctly. 

The  term  Dostur  u'{  4^"^^  ^sb  been  translated  by  me,  at  p.  89,  et  8eq,  "  reyenne 
code  **  according  to  the  definition  in  Wilson's  Glossary,  hot  daat^r  alone,  without  the 
sequent  words  in  construction,  he  defines  to  be  a  subdiyision  of  a  aarhdr  or  aggregate 
of  seyeral  adjacent  parganahtf  a  sense  in  which  it  is  now  obsolete.  I  haye  since  noticed 
in  Sir  H.  Elliot's  Glossary  that  he  considers  dastAr  as  "  perhaps  "  an  abbreyiation  of 
Da8i4r  u'l  4mal  (the  code  of  instructions  for  Beyenue  Officers)  and  under  '  Sirhdr,*  he 
explains  it  as  a  '*  district "  into  which  parganahs  are  aggregated,  and  his  maps  of  the 
K.  W.  P.  attempt  to  restore  the  Borkdrs  and  Aasturs  established  in  Akbar's  time.  This 
meaning  seems  here  the  most  appropriate  and  must  supersede  the  definition  I  had 
g^yen  before  the  opportunity  of  consulting  his  yaluable  work  was  afforded  me.  The 
fiscal  areas  are  thus  designated.  Each  sibah  is  diyided  into  a  certain  number  of 
zarkd^Sf  and  each  saxkdr  into  por^afwi^  or  mahaU  (used  as  equiyalent  expressions).  The 
term  parganah  is  employed  in  the  Imperial  QaneUer  as  a  fiscal  diyision  and  the  tenito- 
rial  unit  and  centre  of  local  history,  coinciding  generally  with  the  dominions  of  a  native

ACCOUNT  OP  THE  TWELVE  SITBAHS. 

In  the  fortieth^  year  of  the  Divine  Era  His  Majesty's  dominions  consisted 
of  one  hundred  and  five  Sarkdrs  (division  of  a  Sdbah)  subdivided  into  two 
thonsand  seven  hundred  and  thirty-seven  townships.  When  the  ten  years' 
settlement  of  the  revenue  was  made  (which  amounted  to  an  annual  rental 
of  three  Arhs?  sixty-two  hrdrs,  ninety-seven  lakha^  fifty-five  thousand  two 
hundred  and  forty-six  dams  and  twelve  lakhs  of  betel  leaves),  His 
Majesty  apportioned  the  Empire  into  twelve  divisions,  to  each  of  which 
be  gave  the  name  of  Subah  and  distinguished  them  by  the  appella- 
tion of  the  tract  of  country  or  its  capital  city.  These  were  Allahabad, 
igra,  Oudh,  Ajmer,  Ahmaddbdd,  Behdr,  Bengal,  Dehli,  Kabul,  Labor, 
Kultan,  Malwah :  and  when  Ber£r,  Khandesh  and  A^imadnagar  were  con- 
quered, thoir  number  was  fixed  at  fifteen.  A  brief  description  of  each  is 
here  get  down,  and  an  account  of  their  rulers  together  with  the  periods  in 
which  they  flourished,  duly  recorded. 

THE  SITBAH  OF  BENGAL. 

Since  the  conceptions  of  sovereign  rule  embrace  the  universe,  I  propose 
to  begin  with  Bengal  which  is  at  one  extremity  of  Hindustdn  and  to  pro- 
ceed to  Zabulistan^  and  I  hope  that  Tur4n  and  Iran  and  other  countries 
may  be  added  to  the  count.  The  country  lying  to  the  east  will  be  first 
described,  followed  by  the  north,  the  south,  and  the  west. 

This  Subah  is   situated  in   the  second  climate.*     Its   length   from

*  This  term,  literally  a  slope  or  inclina-

inclination  of  various  parts  of  the  earth's 
surface  to  the  plane  of  the  equator.  Be- 
fore the  globular  figure  of  the  earth  was 
known,  it  was  supposed  that  there  was 
a  general  slope  of  its  surface  from  S.  to 
N.  and  this  was  called  wA/jua.  But  as 
the  science  of  mathematical  geography 
adyanced,  the  word  was  applied  to  belts

northern  range  of  mountains  to  the  southern  frontier  of  the  Sarhdr 
of  Maddran,  is  two  hundred  kos,  and  when  the  country  of  Orissa 
was  added  to  this  Suhah^  the  additional  length  was  forty-three  ko$ 
and  the  breadth  twenty-three.  It  is  bounded  on  the  east  by  the 
sea,  on  the  north  and  south  by  mountains  and  on  the  west  by  the 
Subah  of  Behar.    The  tract  of    country  on  the  east  called  Bhdti^^  is 


of  the  earth's  snrfaoe,  divided  by  lines 
parallel  to  the  equator,  those  lines  being 
determined  by  the  different  lengths,  at 
different  places,  of  the  shadow  cast  by  a 
gnomon  of  the  same  altitnde,  at  noon  of 
the  same  day.  This  diyision  into 
climates  was  applied  only  to  the  N. 
hemisphere  as  the  geographers  had  no 
practical  knowledge  of  the  earth  S.  of 
the  eqnator.  There  ware  19  climates  as 
given  by  Ptolemy  {Qeogr,  i,  23).  The 
term  was  afterwards  applied  to  the 
average  temperature  of  each  of  these 
regions  and  henoe  onr  modem  nse  of  the 
word,  (Diet,  of  Antiq.  2nd  ed.  art 
Climates.)  The  Arabs  adopted  this  system 
but  restricted  the  number  to  seven. 
They  considered  three-foorths  of  the 
globe  to  be  submerged  and  one-fourth 
above  water.  Of  this  latter  H  was  ha- 
bitable and  the  remainder  waste  or 
desert.  The  habitable  portion  was 
83,150,000  square  miles  in  extent,  each 
mile  being  4000  cubits,  each  cubit  24 
digits.  It  was  situated  between  the 
Equator  and  the  N.  pole  and  was  divided 
into  7  climates.  Their  position  and  the 
limits  of  the  divisions  will  be  found  in 
Yaktit.  M.  B.  Vol.  I,  p.  25  sq.  and  in 
DeSlane's  translation  of  Ibn  Khald6n,

has  been  known  to  Asia  under  the  name 
of  Khitai,  Khata  or  Cathay  and  is  still 
called  Khitai  by  the  Russians.  "  The 
pair  of  names  Khitai  and  Machin  is 
analogous  to  the  other  pair,  Seres  and 
Sinai.  Seres  was  the  name  of  the  great 
nation  in  the  far  East  as  known  by  land, 
Sinai  as  known  by  sea :  and  they  were 
often  supposed  to  be  diverse  just  as 
Cathay  and  China  were  afterwards.* 
D'Herbelot  gives  the  name  of  Khathai 
or  Khatha  to  northern  China  whose 
ruler  the  Khdl^an,  according  to  Eastern 
romance  or  tradition,  joined  his  forces 
to  those  of  Afrdsiib,  king  of  Tartary 
against  Kai  Khusru  king  of  Persia.  The 
monarchs  of  this  country  in  the  time 
of  Chingiz  Khin,  bore  the  title  of  Al- 
toun  Khin,  and  in  the  time  of  Tamar- 
lane  and  his  successors,  that  of  Daiman 
Khin.  The  latter  is  a  western  corrup- 
tion of  Tai-mim— great  brilliancy,  Mim 
being  the  dynastic  title  taken  by  the 
Chinese  conqueror  who  expelled  the 
Mongols  and  was  proclaimed  Emperor 
in  1368.  In  the  time  of  Chengiz,  China 
was  divided  into  Northern  which  com- 
prized  ono-third,   and   Southern   which 


included  the  remaining  two-thirds.  The 
former  was  under  a  Tartar  chief,  the 
latter  ruled  by  a  Chinese  Emperor, 
paying  tribute  to  the  Tartar,  who 
might  be  thus  said  to  be  monarch  of  the 
whole  of  China  or  Khathai  which  em* 
bodies  that  meaning.  See  D'Herbelot 
Vol.  II,  art.  Khathai  and  IV,  p.  17  et 
seq. — Japhet  is  credited  by  Orientals 
with  the  paternity  of  Chin  who  received 
the  celestial  empire  as  his  inheritance 
and  begot  Machin,  his  first-bom.  For 
Sinai  and  Serik^  see  Ptolemy's  India 
by  McCrindle.  The  Chatae  Scjthae  are 
placed  by  Ptolemy  to  the  north  of  bis 
A'kha88a  regio^  identified  by  Cunningham 
with  Ladik,  and  therefore  west  of  Tibet. 
The  name  has  perhaps  survived  with 
oriental  geography. 

'  De  Guignes  (Hist,  des  Huns,  gives 
this  name  to  Pekin  called  also  Ta- 
ton  the  grand  court  or  Kh&n  fiiligh, 
the  court  of  the  Khdn.  The  extent 
and  opulence  of  this  city  and  the 
splendour  in  which  Kublai  Khan  lived 
will  be  found  in  the  reference,  bnt 
several  towns  have  received  this  name 
which  as  it  signifies  the  royal  residence 
is  transferable  to  any  that  the  monarch 
may  honour  with  his  presence.  It  is 
the  Camhalu  of  Western  geographers 
and  historians  and  placed  by  them  in 
Northern  China  or  Grand  Tartary,  while 
the  Orientals  locate  it  in  China  Proper. 
Those  conflicting  locations  are  due  to 
ignorance   of   the  meaning  of  the  name.

fonnd.  On  one  side  of  it  is  Arakan,^  There  are  mines  of  rabies,  dia- 
monds, gold,  silver,  copper,  naptha  and  sulphur,  and  over  these  mines 
there  is  continual  contention  between  this  country  and  the  Maghs  as  well 
as  the  tribes  of  Tipperah. 

The  original  name  of  Bengal  was  Bang.  Its  former  rulers  raised 
mounds  measuring  ten  yards  in  height  and  twenty  in  breadth  throughout 
the  province  which  were  called  Alfi  From  this  suflSx,  the  name  Bengal 
took  its  rise  and  currency.  The  summer  heats  are  temperate  and  the  cold 
season  very  short.  The  rains  begin  when  the  sun  is  midway  in  Taurus, 
(May)  and  continue  for  somewhat  more  than  six  months,  the  plains  being 
under  water  and  the  mounds  alone  visible.  For  a  long  time  past,  at  the 
end  of  the  rains,  the  air  had  been  felt  to  be  pestilential  and  seriously 
affected  animal  life,  but  under  the  auspices  of  his  present  Majesty,  this 
calamity  has  ceased. 

Its  rivers  are  countless  and  the  first  of  them  in  this  province  is  the 
Ganges :  its  source  cannot  be  traced.  The  Hindu  sages  say  that  it  flows  down 
from  the  hair  of  Mahadeva's  head.  Rising  in  the  mountains  towards  the  north, 
it  passes  through  the  province  of  Delhi,  and  imperial  Agra,  and  Allahabad 
and  Beh&r  into  the  province  of  Bengal,  and  near  ^dzihattalfi  in  the  Sarkar

written  Yolnmes.  From  its  source  to  its  mouth  it  is  considered  sacred 
but  some  spots  have  a  peculiar  sanctity.  Its  water  is  carried  as  an  offering 
of  price  to  fiar  distant  places.  Believing  it  to  be  a  wave  of  the  primeval 
river,  they  hold  its  worship  to  be  an  adoration  of  the  supreme  being,  but 
tliis  is  no  part  of  the  ancient  tradition.^  Its  sweetness,  lightness  and 
wbolesomeneBS  attest  its  essential  virtues.  Added  to  this,  it  may  be  kept 
in  a  vessel  for  years  without  undergoing  change. 

Another  river  is  the  Brahmaputra^  It  flows  from  Khati^  to  Kuch

falls  into  the  sea. 

And  again  there  is  the  sea  which  is  here  a  gulf  of  the  great  ocean, 
extending  on  one  side  as  far  as  Basrah  and  on  the  other  to  the  Egyptian 
?nlzum^  and  thence  it  washes  both  Persia  and  Ethiopia  where  are  Dahlak* 
and  Sti^kin,  and  is  called  (the  Gulf  of)  Oman  and  the  Persian  Sea.

year  are  paid  by  instalments  in  eight  months,  they  themselves  bringing 
mohurs  and  rupees  to  the  appointed  place  for  the  receipt  of  revenue,  as  the 
division  of  grain  between  the  government  and  the  husbandman  is  not  here 
customary.  The  harvests  are  always  abundant,  measurement  is  not  insisted 
upon,  and  the  revenue  demands  are  determined  by  estimate  of  the  crop. 
His  Majesty  in  his  goodness  has  confirmed  this  custom.  Their  staple  food 
is  rice  and  fish ;  wheat,  barley  and  the  like  not  being  esteemed  wholesome. 
Men  aud  women  for  the  most  part  go  naked  wearing  only  a  cloth  about

the  cost  of  a  single  one  will  be  five  thousand  rupees  or  more  and  they  last 
a  long  time.  Travelling  is  by  boat,  especially  in  the  rains,  and  they  make 
them  of  different  kinds  for  purposes  of  war,  carriage  or  swift  sailing.  For  a 
siege  they  are  so  adapted  that  when  run  ashore,  they  overtop  the  fort  and 
facilitate  its  capture.  For  land  travel  they  employ  the  Sukhdsan,  This  is

the  two  sides  of  which  have  fastenings*  of  various  metals  and  a  pole 
supporting  it  is  attached  by  means  of  iron  hooks.  It  is  conveniently 
adapted  for  sitting  in,  lying  at  full  length  or  sleeping  during  travel.  As 
a  protection  against  sun  and  rain  they  provide  a  commodious  covering 
which  is  removable  at  pleasure.  Some  enjoy  the  luxury  of  riding  on

tbe  late  Emperoi'  Hnm^ydn  distlDguished  it  by  this  title  of  Jannatdbad.^ 
It  has  a  fine  fort  and  to  the  eastward  of  it  is  a  lake  called  Ohhatidpatid^ 
in  which  are  many  islands.  Were  the  dam  that  confines  it  to  break,  the 
city  would  be  nnder  water.  About  a  kos  to  the  north  of  the  fort,  is  a 
large  building  and  a  reservoir,  monuments  of  great  antiquity.  From  time 
immemorial^  its  water  has  been  considered  to  be  of  a  poisonous  character. 
The  phwje  was  called  Piydshdri,^  and  criminals  condemned  to  death,  were 
there  confined  who  in  a  short  time  perished  from  the  effects  of  this 
hrackish  water.  At  present  in  the  blessed  reign  of  His  Majesty,  this 
practice  has  been  discontinued. 

Mahmuddbdd, — The  marshes  around  the  fort  have  added  to  its  im- 
pregnability. The  ruler  of  this  district,  at  the  time  of  its  conquest  by 
Sher  Ehdn,  let  some  of  his  elephants  loose  in  its  forests  from  which  time 
they  have  abounded.     Long  pepper*  grows  in  this  tract. 

The  Sarkdr  of  KhaUfatdhdd  is  well  wooded  and  holds  wild  elephants. 
The  Sarkdr  of  Bagld^  extends  along  the  sea  shore.  The  fort  is  snr- 
iwmded  by  woods.  On  the  first  day  of  the  new  moon  the  sea  steadily 
rises  until  the  fourteenth,  and  from  the  fifteenth  till  the  end  of  the  month 
as  gradually  falls.  In  the  29th  year  of  the  Divine  Era,  a  terrible 
inundation  occurred  at  three  o'clock  in  the  afternoon,  which  swept  over 
the  whole  Sarkdr.  The  Rajah  held  an  entertainment  at  the  time.  He 
at  once  embarked  on  board  a  boat,  while  his  son  Parmdnand  Rae  with 
some  others  climbed  to  the  top  of  a  temple  and  a  merchant  took  refuge 
in  a  high  loft.  For  four  hours  and  a  half  the  sea  raged  amid  thunder 
and  a  hurricane  of  wind.  Houses  and  boats  were  engulfed  but  no  damage 
occurred  to  the  iemple  or  the  loft.  Nearly  two  hundred  thousand  living 
creatures  perished  in  this  flood. 

In  the  Sarkdr  of  Ohoraghdtj^  silk  is  produced  and  a  kind  of  sackcloth. 
Numbers  of  eunuchs  are  here  and  hill  ponies  in  plenty  are  procurable.

indiscriminately  called  Jalpai  by  the 
natives.  .The  fruits  of  all  the  species 
are  a  good  deal  alike,  varying  in  size 
from  an  olive  to  a  walnnt,  having  an 
external  fleshy  palp  more  or  less  palat- 
able (in  some  species  of  fair  flavour) 
and  containing  a  stone.  The  latter  is 
usually  found  to  be  divided  into  8  cells, 
one  of  which  contains  a  mature  seed,

•  Commonly  Sangtarah.  The  name  is 
supposed  to  be  a  corruption  of  C intra, 
but  its  mention  by  Baber  in  his  Me- 
moirs seems  subversive  of  this  deriva- 
tion, for  though  the  fruit  is  said  to  have 
been  an  eastern  importation  into  Portu- 
gal, it  is  improbable  that  the  foreign 
name  could  have  been  current  in  India 
at  so  early  a  date.  Humayun  praises 
it  highly  saying  that  no  one  cares  for 
any  other  fruit  who  has  this.  He  states 
that  it  is  found  only  at  Senargam  (so

Orissa, 


This  was  formerly  a  separate  State.  The  climate  is  extremely  healthy. 
His  Majesty  apportioned  it  into  five  Sarkdrs,  mar.,  Jalesar}  Bhadrak^ 
Kafak  (Cuttack,)  Kalang  Dandpdf  and  Baja  Mahandrah.  These  five  are 
now  included  in  the  province  of  Bengal.  It  contains  one  hundred  and 
twenty-nine  masonry  forts.  Its  ruler  is  entitled  Gajpati.*  The  rainy  season 
extends  over  eight  months  ;  there  are  three  cold  months  and  one  month  only 
that  is  hot.  The  staple  cultivation  is  rice  and  the  food  of  the  inhabitants 
consists  of  rice,  fish,  the  egg-plant^  and  vegetables.  When  the  rice  is 
cooked,  they  steep  it  in  cold  water  and  eat  it  on  the  second  day.  The  men 
are  effeminate,  anointing  their  bodies  with  sandal  oil  and  wearing  golden 
ornaments.  The  women  cover  only  the  lower  part  of  the  body  and  many 
make  themselves  coverings  of  the  leaves  of  trees.*  The  walls  of  their  huts 
are  of  reeds  and  their  temples  are  of  stone  and  of  great  height.  Elephants 
abound.  The  inhabitants  of  Bengal  do  not  understand  the  languasre  of 
this  country.  A  woman  may  have  more  than  one  husband.  They  write 
on  palm  leaves^  with  an  iron  pen,  holding  it  with  the  clenched  fist, 
and  pen  and  ink  are  rarely  employed.  The  litters  called  Sukhdsan  are 
much  in  use:  cloths  are  manufactured  and  the  province  furnishes 
eunuchs :  fruits  and  flowers  are  in  great  plenty,  especially  the  gul  i  nasrin^

the  Oanjuri}  It  is  the  residence  of  the  governor  and  contains  some  fine 
btiildings.  For  five  or  six  kos  round  the  fort  during  the  rains,  the  country 
is  under  water.  Rajah  Makand  Deo*  built  a  palace  here  nine  stories  in 
height ;  the  first  story  was  taken  up  for  the  elephants  and  the  stables : 
the  second  was  occupied  by  the  artillery  and  the  guards  and  quarters  for 
attendants :  the  third  by  the  patrol  and  gatekeepers :  the  fourth  by  the 
workshops :  the  fifth,  by  the  kitchen  :  the  sixth  contained  the  public  re- 
ception rooms :  the  seventh,  the  private  apartments ;  the  eighth,  the 
women's  apartments,  and  the  ninth,  the  sleeping  chamber  of  the  governor. 
To  the  south  is  a  very  ancient  temple.  Overlooking  this,  in  the  city  of 
Pumshottama^  (Puri)  on  the  sea  shore  stands  the  shrine  of  Jagannath. 
Kear  to  it  are  the  images  of  Krishna  and  of  his  brother  and  sister,*  made 
of  saodal-wood.  It  is  said  that  over  four  thousand  years  ago  Rajah 
Indradaman  (Indi-adyumna)  ruler  of  the  Nilkar  (Nilgiri)  hill  sent  a 
learned  Brahman  to  select  a  suitable  spot  for  the  building  of  a  city. 
He  wandered  much  in  search  of  his  object  and  found  a  fitting  site  which 
he  preferred  to  all  other  places.  On  a  sudden  he  beheld  a  crow  plunge 
into  the  water  and  after  bathing  itself,  pay  its  devotions  to  the  sea.  He 
WB8  astonished  at  this  action  and  as  he  understood  the  language  of 
inimalB,  he  inquired  of  the  crow  the  reason  of  its  proceeding.  He  received 
this  answer.  "  I  was  once  of  the  number  of  the  deotas  and  through  the 
curse  of  an  ascetic  was  transformed  into  this  shape.  A  spiritual  guide 
of  high  illumination  affirms  that  the  Supreme  Creator  has  a  special 
r^ard  for  this  spot  and  whosoever  dwells  here  and  applies  his  soul 
to  the  worship  of  God,  quickly  attains  his  desire.  For  some  years  past 
I  have  supplicated  for  my  deliverance  in  this  manner  and  the  time 
is  DOW  at  hand  when  my  prayer  will  be  answered.  Since  thou  art 
essentially  meritorious,  watch  in  expectation  and  comprehend  the  wonders 
of  this  land."  The  Brahman  in  a  short  time  witnessed  with  his  own  eyes 
the  things  he  had  heard.     He  apprised  the  Rajah  of  these  occurrences,  who

builti  a  large  city  and  appointed  a  special  place  of  worship.  The  Rajah,  one 
night,  after  having  administered  justice,  was  reposing  on  the  coach  of 
divine  praise  when  it  was  thus  revealed  to  him,  **  On  a  certain  day, 
watch  in  expectation  npon  the  sea  shore.  A  piece  of  wood  of  fifty- 
two  fingers  in  length  and  a  cnbit  and  a  haU  in  breadth  will  approach : 
this  is  the  special  image  of  the  deity  :  take  it  and  placing  it  in  thy 
house,  guard  it  for  seven  days  and  whatever  shape  it  then  assumes, 
place  it  in  the  temple  and  enshrine  it."  After  waking,  the  thing  happened 
in  the  same  wise,  and  by  a  divine  inspiration,  he  named  it  Jagannath  and 
decked  it  with  gold  and  jewels.  It  became  a  place  of  devotion  to  high  and 
low  and  many  miracles  are  reported  regarding  it.^  Kal4  Pahar  the  General 
of  Sulayndln  Karani,*  on  his  conquest  of  the  country,  flung  the  imag«  into 
the  fire  and  burnt  it  and  afterwards  cast  it  into  the  sea.  But  it  is  now 
restored  and  these  popular  fables  are  related  of  it. 

The  three  images  are  washed  six  times  every  day  and  freshly  clothed. 
Fifty  or  sixty  priests  wearing  the  Brahmanical  thread,  stand  to  do  them 
service  and  each  time  large  dishes  of  food  are  brought  out  and  offered  to  the 
images,  so  that  twenty  thousand  people  partake  of  the  leavings.*  They 
construct  a  car  of  sixteen  wheels  which  in  Hindi,  they  call  Buth^  npon 
which  the  images  are  mounted,  and  they  believe  that  whosoever  draws  it,  is 
absolved  from  sin  and  is  visited  by  no  temporal  distress.  Near  Jagannath 
is  a  temple  dedicated  to  the  Sun.*  Its  cost  was  defrayed  by  twelve  years 
revenue  of  the  province.  Even  those  whose  judgment  is  critical  and  who 
are  difficult  to  please  stand  astonished  at  its  sight.  The  height  of  the  wall 
is  150  cubits^  high  and  19  thick.  It  has  three  portals.  The  eastern  has 
carved  upon  it  the  figures  of  two  finely  designed  elephants,  each  of  them

'^  Sir  W.   Hnnter  in  his  Orissa,  I,  p. 


288,  quotes  these  measurements  from 
Gladwin,  but  changing  "cubits"  into 
"hands''  and  adding  in  a  note. 
"Gladwin  says  cubits  but  the  word 
in  the  original  is  diist."  It  would 
have  been  more  satisfactory  had  this 
distinguished  writer  told  us  what  he 
understood  by  *  hand.'  The  Persian

hdthy  namely,  the  length  from  the  point 
of  the  elbow  to  the  tip  of  the  middle 
finger,  and  this  is  a  cubit.  Whether 
Abdl  Fazl's  measurements  are  right  or 
not  is  another  matter  but  Gladwin  has 
rightly  interpreted  his  meaning.

carrying  a  man  upon  his  trunk.  The  western  bears  sculptures  of  two 
horsemen  with  trappings  and  ornaments  and  an  attendant.  The  northern 
hafl  two  tigers,  each  of  which  is  rampant  upon  an  elephant  that  it  has 
OTerpowered.  In  front*  is  an  octagonal  column  of  black  stone,  60  yards 
high.  When  nine  flights  of  steps  are  passed,  a  spacious  court  appears 
with  a  large  arch  of  stone  upon  which  are  carved  the  sun  and  other  planets. 
Around  them  are  a  variety  of  worshippers  of  every  class,  each  after  its 
manner,  with  bowed  heads,  standing,  sitting,  prostrate,  laughing,  weeping, 
lost  in  amaze  or  in  wrapt  attention  and  following  these  are  divers  musicians 
and  strange  animals  which  never  existed  but  in  imagination.  It  is  said 
that  somewhat  over  730  years  ago^,  Raja  Narsing  Deo  completed  this 
stapendous  fabric  and  left  this  mighty  memorial  to  posterity.  Twenty- 
eight  temples  stand  in  its  vicinity ;  six  before  the  entrance  and  twenty-two 
without  the  enclosure,  each  of  which  has  its  separate  legend.  Some  affirm 
that  Kabir  Mua'hhid^  reposes  here  and  many  authentic  traditions  are  relat- 
ed regarding  his  sayings  and  doings  to  this  day.  He  was  revered  by  both 
Bindu  and  Muhammadan  for  his  catholicity  of  doctrine  and  the  illumina- 
tioa  of  liis  mind,  and  when  he  died,  the  Brdhmans  wished  to  bum  his  body 
ud  the  Muhammadans  to  bury  it.*

bhirat,  4,096  years  previous  to  the  present  time.  When  the  cup  of  life  of 
R^ja  Naujah  overflowed,  the  sovereignty  fell  to  Lakhmaniya  son  of  Eie 
Lakhman.  Nadiya  was  at  that  time  the  capital  of  Bengal  and  the  seat  of 
various  learning.  Nowadays  its  prosperity  has  somewhat  abated  bat 
the  traces  of  its  erudition  are  still  evident.  The  astrologers  predicted  the 
overthrow  of  his  kingdom  and  the  establishment  of  another  faith  and  they 
discovered  in  Muhammad  Baktiydr  Khiiji  the  individual  by  whom  these 
two  events  would  be  accomplished.  Although  the  Bdja  regarding  these 
as  idle  tales  refused  to  credit  them,  many  of  his  subjects  sought  refnge  in 
distant  provinces.  At  the  time  when  Ku^bu'ddin  Aibak  held  India  for 
Shahabu*ddin,  the  Khiiji  took  possession  of  Behar  by  force  of  arms,  and 
when  he  marched  upon  Bengal,  the  Raja,  escaped  in  a  boat.  Mu^mmad 
Bahktiyar,  entered  Bengal  and  having  amassed  enormous  plunder,  he  de- 
stroyed the  city  of  Nadiyd  and  transferred  the  capital  to  Lakhnanti. 
From  that  time  Bengal  has  been  subject  to  the  kings  of  Delhi. 

During  the  reign  of  Sultan  Tughlak,  Kadar  Kb^n  was  viceroy  in 
Bengal.  Malik  Fakhru'ddin  his  sword-bearer  through  greed  of  power,  dis- 
loyally determined  upon  the  death  of  his  master  and  plotting  in  secret, 
Blew  him  and  with  pretentious  allegations  fraudfully  possessed  himself 
of  the  government  and  refused  allegiance  to  the  sovereigns  of  Delhi. 
Malik  ^l\  Mubdrak,  who  had  been  one  of  the  principal  adherents  of  Kadar 
Khan,  assumed  the  title  of  Alau*ddin  and  rose  against  Fakhru'ddin,  and 
taking  him  alive  in  action,  put  him  to  death.  Haji  Iliyas  jjilai,  one  of  the 
nobles  of  Bengal,  entering  into  a  confederacy  with  some  others,  slew  him 
and  took  the  title  of  Shamsu'ddin.  He  is  also  called  Bhangarah.  Sul^n 
Firoz  set  out  from  Delhi  to  chastise  him  and  a  severe  struggle  ensued,  but 
as  the  rainy  season  was  approaching,  he  concluded  a  hasty  treaty  and 
returned.  When  Shamsu'ddin  died,  the  chiefs  of  the  army  raised  bis 
eldest  son  to  the  throne  under  the  title  of  Sikandar  Shdh.  Sul^dn  Kroz 
again  marched  into  Bengal  but,  retreated  after  aiTanging  terms  of  peace. 
On  Sikandar's  death  his  son  was  elected  to  succeed  him  and  was  proclaimed 
under  the  title  of  Ghiyasu'ddin.  Khwdjah  Hdflz  of  Shiraz  sent  him  an 
ode  in  which  occurs  the  following  verse  :^ 

And  now  shall  India's  parroqaets  on  sngar  revel  all, 
In  this  sweet  Persian  lyric  that  is  borne  to  far  Bengal. 
A  native  of  Bengal  by  name  Kansi  fraudfully  dispossesed  Shamsu'ddin 
who  was  his  grandson.     When  he  died,  his  son    embraced    Islam   and 


*  Kosenzweig-Schwannan  in  his  trans 
lation  of  H&fiz  identifies  the  Ghij^n'd- 
din  of  this  poem,  as  prince  of  Herat- 


whom  Tim6r  later  deprived  of  his  king- 
dom. The  verse  is  certainly  against  tho 
supposition.

took  the  Dame  of  Saluda  JaUIa*ddiii.  It  was  the  cnstom  in  that  country 
for  seven  thousand  footmen  called  Pdyiks^  to  patrol  round  the  palace. 
One  evening  a  eunuch  conspiring  with  these  guards  slew  Fatl^  Shah  and 
assumed  the  title  of  Barbak  Shah. 

Firoz  Shdh  was  also  slain  by  these  guards  and  his  son  Mahmtid  was 
raised  to  the  sovereignty.  An  Abyssinian  slave  named  Muzaffar  with  the 
assistance  of  the  same  guards  put  him  to  death  and  mounted  the  throne. 
iflLlaa'ddin.  an  attendant  of  MuzafPar,  in  turn,  in  conspiracy  with  these 
guards  despatched  his  master  and  established  himself  in  power.  Thus 
tlirough  the  caprice  of  fortune,  these  low  footsoldiers  for  a  considerable 
time  played  an  important  part  in  the  state,  ^lau'ddin  placed  the  admi- 
nistration of  justice  on  a  better  footing  and  disbanded  the  Pdyiks,  Nasrat 
Shah  is  said  to  have  followed  the  example  of  his  father  in  his  justice 
in  and  liberality  and  treated  his  brothers  with  consideration.  When 
Sultan  Ibrahim  (Lodi)  met  his  death  in  the  engagement  with  Sultan 
Bibar,*  his  brother  and  the  chiefs  of  the  army  took  refuge  with  this 
Booarch  and  lived  in  security.  Humaytin  appointed  Jahangir  Kuli  Beg 
to  the  governorship  of  the  province.  When  Sh6r  Khdn  a  second  time  rose 
to  power,  he  beguiled  Jahangir  under  pretext  of  an  amicable  settlement 
and  put  him  to  death.  During  the  reign  of  Salim  Khan  (at  Delhi) 
Muhammad  Khan  his  kinsman,  united  loyalty  to  his  lord  with  justice  to 
his  subjects.  When  he  fell  in  action  against  Mamrez  Kh&n,  his  son  Khizr 
Khan  succeeded  him  and  assumed  the  title  of  Bahadur  Shdh.  Mamrez 
Khdn  entered  the  field  against  him  but  perished  in  battle.  Tdj  Khan,  one 
of  the  nobles  of  Salim  Khan,  slew  Jalalu'ddin  and  assumed  the  govern- 
ment. His  younger  brother  Sulairadn,  although  of  a  tyrannous  disposition, 
reigned  for  some  time,  after  which  his  sons  Bayazid  and  Daud  through 
misconduct  dishonoured  the  royal  privileges  of  the  mint  and  the  pulpit. 
Thus  concludes  my  abstract. 

Praise  be  to  God,  that  this  prosperous  country  receives  an  additional 
splendour  through  the  justice  of  imperial  majesty.

Its  chief  rivers  are  the  Ganges  and  the  Son.  Whatever  of  wood  or  leather 
and  the  like  falls  into  the  Son,  becomes  petrified.  The  head  springs  of 
these  three  rivers,  the  Son^  the  Narbada  and  the  JoJUla^  babble  np  from  a 
single  reed-bed^  in  the  neighbonrbood  of  Oa4ha.  The  Son  is  pleasant  to 
the  taste,  wholesome  and  cool ;  flowing  in  a  northerly  direction,  it  joins 
the  Ganges  near  Maner,^  The  Ohandak  flows  from  the  north  and  unites 
with  the  Ganges  near  Hdjipur,  Such  as  drink  of  it  suffer  from  a  swelling

and  establishes  the  acoorapy  of  the 
readingSy  if  not  of  the  fact,  Tieflfentha- 
ler  confirms  it.  In  his  account  of  Behar 
he  writes:  "Snivant  un  livre  qui  con- 
tient  la  description  de  I'lnde,  o'est  dans 
le  Gondvane,  que  le  Narbada,  le  Soane 
et  le  Djnhala  jaillissent  d*un  buUson  de 
hcmibot^s,  comme  d'nne  source.  Selon 
nn  ingenieur  Anglais  qui  depuis  Elahbad 
a  pen6tr^  jusqu'lL  la  source,  les  trois 
rivieres  susdites  sourdent  d'un  etang, 
long  de  8  aunes,  et  large  de  6,  qui  est 
entoure  d'un  mur  de  brique.  Get  etang

hameau  assis  sur  le  sommet  d'un  ooUine

les  habitants :  il  est  distant  de  20  milles 
de  Bettenpour,  cp:tuide  viUe  situ^  an 
Nord,  et  de  80  de  Mandela  a'  I'Est. 

Le  Narbada,  apres  sa  sortie  de  I'etang, 
parcourt  Tespace  d'un  mille  et  demi 
vers  I'Est:  ensuite  se  pr^ipitant  d'nne 
colline  avec  violence  d'une  hauteur  de  26 


aunes,  il  uoule  rapidement  vers  le  village 
de  Gapaldara.  La  fleuve,  au  sortie  de 
Tetang,  a  une  aune  en  largeur. 

Le  8oane  n'est  visible  qu'a  la  distance 
d*un  demi  mille  de  Tetang.  Ensuite 
apres  un  oours  de  6  milles,  il  se  perd 
dans  le  sable,  mais  acquerant  de  nouvean 
un  plus  g^nd  volume,  il  devient  one 
fleuve  considerable,  et  poursuit  soa 
course  vers  Bot&s. 

Le  DJuhala  commence  seulement  a  se 
montrer  lorsqu*  il  est  d^j&  eloign^  de  S

colline  en  un  mince  filet  d'eao,  qui  par 
I'espace  de  12  milles  echappe  aux  yeox ; 
apres  quoi  il  devient  une  petite  riviere  et 
continue  de  rouler  ses  eaux  en  xp^oore

form,  different  names  and  properties  are  ascribed  to  it.  The  generality 
ha?e  a  single  perforation,  others  more  and  some  are  without  any.  They 
contain  gold  ore.  Some  say  that  a  worm  is  bred  within  which  eats  its

The  Hindus  have  written  a  considerable  work  on  the  qualities  of  this  stone. 
According  to  the  Brahminical  creed,  every  idol  that  is  broken  loses  its 
claim  to  veneration,  but  with  these,  it  is  not  so.  They  are  found  in  the

The  Karamndsd  flowing  from  the  south  unites  with  the  Ganges  near 
Chausd,  Its  waters  are  regarded  with  aversion.^  The  Punpun  flows  also

while  the  winter  is  temperate.  Warm  garments  are  not  worn  for  more 
than  two  months.  The  rains  continue  during  six  months  and  throughout 
the  year  the  country  is  green  and  fertile.  No  severe  winds  blow  nor 
ckids  of  dust  prevail.  Agriculture  flourishes  in  a  high  degree,  especially 
tie  cultivation  of  rice  which,  for  its  quality  and  quantity  is  rarely  to  be 
iqaalled.  Kisdrfl  is  the  name  of  a  pulse,  resembling  peas,  eaten  by  the 
poor,  but  is  unwholesome.  Sugarcane  is  abundant  and  of  excellent 
quality.  Betel-leaf,  especially  the  kind  called  Mahhiy*  is  delicate  and 
beantiful  in  colour,  thin  in  texture,  fragrant  and  pleasant  to  the  taste.

houses  for  the  most  part  are  roofed  with  tiles.  Good  elephants  are  pro-

Parrots  abound  and  a  fine  species  of  goat  of  the  Barbary  breed  which  they 
castrate :  from  their  extreme  fatness  they  are  unable  to  walk  and  are 
carried  on  litters.  The  fighting  cocks  are  famous.  Game  is  abundant. 
Gilded  glass  is  manufactured  here. 

In  the  Sarkdr  of  Behdr^  near  the  village  of  Bdjgar  is  a  quarry  of  stone 
resembling  marble,  of  which  ornaments  are  made.  Good  paper  is  here

it  is  also  called  Brahma  Oayd  being  dedicated  to  Brahma,  Precious  stones 
from  foreign  ports  are  brought  here  and  a  constant  traffic  carried  on. 

In  the  Sarkdr  of  Monghyr  {Mungir)  a  strong  stone  wall  has  been  built

In  the  Sarkdr  of  Ohampdran  the  seed  of  the  vetch  Mdsh*  is  cast  on 
unploughed  soil  where  it  grows  without  labour  or  tilling.  Long  pepper 
grows  wild  in  its  forests. 

Tirhut  has  from  immemorial  time,  been  a  seat  of  Hindu  learning.  Its 
climate  is  excellent.  Milk  curds  keep  for  a  year  without  alteration.  If 
those  who  sell  milk  adulterate  it  with  water,  some  mysterious  accident  be- 
fals  them.  The  buffaloes  are  so  savage  that  they  will  attack  a  tiger. 
There  are  many  lakes  and  in  one  of  them  the  water  never  decreases,  and 
its  depth  is  unfathomable.  Groves  of  orange  trees  extend  to  a  distance  of 
thirty  kds^  delighting  the  eye.  In  the  rainy  season  gazelle  and  deer  aud

*  The  terms  iJ^  though  originally 
applied  to  lands  sequestrated  by  the 
■tate,  was  nsed  of  rent  free  lands  sub- 
jected to  assessment  in  Bengal,  to  lands 
which  had  been  resumed  from  Jagir 
grants  by  Jafar  Khan:  in  the  north- 
west, to  money  rents  on  the  more  valu- 
able crops,  such  as  sugar,  tobacco,  and 
cotton  where  rent  in  kind  was  the  rule. 
Abdl  Fazl  employs  it  loosely  elsewhere 
for  the  revenue  collection  or  assessment

of  a  village.       According   to    Camegy 
the  word  is  not  in  general  use  in  Ondh. 

•  Gladwin  has  18,  but  17  is  confirmed 
by  the  reading  of  the  S.  ul.  M.,  the 
writer  of  which  has,  however,  misunder- 
stood the  reference  by  Abul  Fazl  to 
parganahs  in  the  figures  138  and  61, 
and  confused  the  sense  of  the  passage.

Its  climate  is  healthy.  It  produces  a  variety  of  fruits,  flowers  and 
garden  herbs,  and  it  has  always  an  abundant  supply  of  melons  and  grapes. 
Agriculture  is  in  a  flourishing  state.  Jow&ri^  and  LaMarah,  however, 
do  not  grow  and  Moth  is  scarce.  Cloths,  such  as  Jkdli,^  and  Mihrhal  and 
the  like  are  beautifully  woven,  especially  at  Bendres,  Jaldldhdd  and  Mau 
At  Jaunpilr,  Zafanodl  and  other  places  woollen  carpets  are  manufactured. 
A  variety  of  game  is  also  to  be  found. 

Illahahdd  anciently  called  Priydg  was  distinguished  by  His  Imperial 
Majesty  by  the  former  name.  A  stone  fort  was  completed  and  many 
handsome  edifices  erected.  The  Hindds  regard  it  as  the  King  of  shrines. 
Near  it,  the  Ganges,  the  Jumna  and  the  Saraswati  meet,  though  the  latter 
is  not  visible.  Near  the  village  of  Kantat  considerable  captures  of  ele- 
phants are  made.  What  is  most  strange  is  that  when  Jupiter  enters  the 
constellation  Leo,  a  small  hill  appears  from  out  of  the  Ganges  and  remains 
there  during  the  space  of  one  month  upon  which  the  people  offer  divine 
worship. 

Bdrdnasi,  universally  known  as  Benares,  is  a  large  city  situated  be- 
tween the  two  rivers,  the  Barna  and  the  Aaifi  In  ancient  books,  it  is  styled 
Kdsi,  It  is  built  in  the  shape  of  a  bow  of  which  the  Ganges  forms  the 
string.  In  former  days  there  was  here  an  idol  temple,  *  round  which  pro- 
cession was  made  after  the  manner  of  the  Tcaghah  and  similar  ceremonials 
of  the  pilgrims  conducted.  From  time  immemorial,  it  has  been  the  chief 
seat  of  learning  in  Hindustan.  Crowds  of  people  flock  to  it  from  the 
most  distant  parts  for  the  purpose  of  instruction  to  which  they  apply 
themselves  with  the  most  devoted  assiduity.  Some  particulars  of  its 
history  shall  be  related  in  what  follows. 

In  A.  H.  410  Sult&n  Mal^mud  of  Ghazni  marched  hither,  and  some 
disruption  of  the  old  faith  was  effected.  In  A.  H.  416,  he  again  invaded 
the  country.  He  first  invested  Gwalior  but  raised  the  siege  under 
a  treaty  of  peace.  He  then  resolved  to  take  the  fort  of  Kdlinjar,  The 
governor  sent  him  300  elephants  vnth  his  respectful  submission  and 
proffered  some  eulogistic  verses.     Mal^mdd   was  so  much  pleased  that  he

bestowed  on  him  the  governorship  of  the  fort  together  with  the  charge  of 
fourteen  other  places. 

Jawnpur  is  a  large  city.  Sultan  Firoz  (Tughlak)  king  of  Delhi  laid 
it6  foundations  and  named  it  after  his  consin  Fakhrtiddin  Jaanah.^  Its 
loDgitade  is  190°  6" ;  its  latitude  26°  15 '. 

Chanddah  (Chanar)  is  a  stone  fort  on  the  snmmit  of  a  hill,  scarce 
equalled  for  its  loftiness  and  strength.     The  river  Ganges  flows  at  its  foot. 

In  its  vicinity,  there  is  a  tribe  of  men  who  go  naked,  living  in  the 
wilds,  and  subsist  by  their  bows  and  arrows  and  the  game  they  kill. 
Elephants  are  also  found  in  the  forests. 

KUinjar  is  a  stone  fortress  situated  upon  a  heaven-reaching^  hill. 
No  one  can  trace  its  origin.  It  contains  many  idol  temples  and  an  idol  is 
there,  called  Kdli  Bhairon^^  18  cubits  high,  of  which  marvellous  tales  are 
related.  Springs  rise  within  the  fort  and  there  are  many  tanks.  Adjoin- 
ing it  is  a  dense  forest  in  which  wild  elephants,  and  kestrels  and  hawks 
and  other  animals  are  trapped.^  Ebony  is  here  found  and  many  kinds  of 
fraits  grow  spontaneously.  There  is  also  an  iron  mine.  In  the  neigh- 
Imirhood,  within  eight  kos,  the  peasants  find  small  diamonds. 

It  is  said  that  RAja  Kirat  Singh  the  governor  of  the  fort  possessed 
fix  precious  treasures,  a  learned  Brahman  of  saintly  lif  e,  a  youth  of  great 
beauty  and  amiable  disposition,  a  parrot  that  answered  any  questions 
pat  to  it  and  some  say,  remembered  everything  that  it  heard,  a  musician 
named  Bakshti  unequalled  in  the  knowledge  and  practice  of  his  art,  and 
two  handmaidens  lovely  to  behold  and  skilled  in  song.  Sultan  Bahadur 
Gajrdti  having  formed  a  friendship  with  the  Rdjd  asked  him  for  one  of 
these.  The  B4jah  generously  and  with  a  provident  wisdom  sent  him 
Bakshd.  Next  Sher  Eh&n  of  the  House  of  Sdr  requested  the  gift  of  the 
two  wonderful  songstresses,  and  when  his  messenger  returned  without 
them,  he  invested  the  fort.  Works  were  erected  and  the  besieged  were 
reduced  to  great  straits.     In  despair,  the  Baj&,  after  the  manner  of  the

Hindas  who  hold  their  honour  dear,  burnt  his  women,  for  in  the  slumber- 
ing of  his  reason,  he  had  set  his  affections  upon  the  things  of  this  fleeting 
life,  and  so  giving  his  body  to  ashes,  according  to  the  desire  of  his  enemies, 
he  became  soiled  with  the  dust  of  dissolution.  As  to  Sher  Khdn,  who 
had  conceived  this  wicked  design,  he  fell  at  the  powder  magazine  when 
the  fire  opened  on  the  fort  and  the  harvest  of  his  life  was  consumed.^ 

In  the  village  of  Modha  high  and  low  are  distinguished  for  their

hrorsy  24  lakhs  and  27,819  dams  (Rs.  53,10,695-7-9,)  and  12  lakhs  of

special  rates.  Measured  land  39,68,018  highas,  3  hiswas,  yielding  a  re- 
venue of  20  krors,  29  lakhs  71,224  dams  (Rs.  50,74,280-9).  The  re- 
maining 46  Parganahs  pay  the  general  bigah  rate.  They  are  rated  at  94 
lakhs,  56,595  dams  (Rs.  2,36,424-14).  Of  this,  1  kror,  11  lakhs,  65,417

Cavalry,  237,870  Infantry  and  323  elephants. 

Note. — In  the  names  of  the  parganahs  under  the  following  Sarkdrs,  I 
have  altered  the  spelling  where  the  variants  allow,  in  accordance  with 
Elliot's  lists,  as  his  personal  acquaintance  with  their  true  pronunciatioa 
is  probably  more  correct  than  those  of  my  previous  lists  which  were 
adapted  as  far  as  possible  to  reconcile  the  readings  of  Gladwin  and 
Tieffenthaler.  The  discrepancies  are  slight  and  will  not  interfere  with 
their  recognition.

Malik  Sarwar  a  ennuob  who  bad  received  from  his  predecessor  the 
dignity  of  Khdn-i-Jahdn,  and  sent  him  to  this  province.^  Ho  gave  lustre  to 
his  reign  by  his  judgment,  clemency,  justice  and  valour  and  thus  garnered 
a  provision  for  his  life's  last  journey.  When  the  cup  of  his  days  was  full, 
the  son  whom  he  had  adopted,  named  Mubirak  l^aranf  ul,  by  the  assistance 
of  the  chief  men  of  the  State,  raised  himself  to  power  and  had  the  khutbah 
read  and  the  coin  struck  in  his  own  name.  When  the  news  of  this  event 
reached  Mallti  (Khdn^)  he  collected  troops  and  marched  from  Delhi  to 
oppose  him  and  encamped  in  readiness  for  battle  on  the  banks  of  the 
Ganges,^  but  nothing  decisive  having  been  efiEected,  both  armies  returned 


When  this  prince  died,  his  younger  brother  Ibrahim  was  raised  to  the 
throne.  By  his  knowledge  of  men  and  capacity  for  affairs  he  administered 
the  kingdom  with  justice  and  made  the  chastisement  of  the  unruly  a  source 
«f  prosperity  to  his  government.  Wisdom  was  eagerly  sought  and  the 
(mpects  of  the  intelligent  in  every  profession  were  advanced,  l^izi 
SUulbu'ddin,^  a  sage  of  Hindustan  flourished  about  this  time.  He  was 
ha  at  Delhi  and  in  that  city  acquired  a  comprehensive  knowledge  of  the 
ndnctive  sciences  and  traditional  lore,  and  at  the  time  of  the  arrival  of 
Timnr,  he  set  out  for  Jaunpdr  in  the  company   of  his  master  Maulana

there  continued  his  progress  and  became  the  envy  of  his  time.  Shih 
Maddr,  however,  who  is  esteemed  one  of  the  saints  of  Hindustan  and

that  ever  exists  between  philosophers  who  regard  the  material  world, 
and  masters  of  the  spiritual  life,  entertained  no  esteem  for  the  EJai, 

When  the  days  of  Ibrahim  came  to  a  close,  his  eldest  son  Bikhan' 
Khan,  under  the  name  of  Snlfan  Mal^mud,  assumed  the  sovereignty.  As 
his  deeds  were  not  approved,  the  sentence  of  deposition  was  issued  against 
him  and  his  brother  Husain^  raised  to  power.  He  made  rectitude  his  rale 
of  conduct  and  his  chief  object  the  conciliation  of  all  hearts.  Fortnne 
favoured  his  desires  and  the  world  praised  him  but  intoxicated  by  the 
maddening  fumes  of  worldly^  success,  he  became  arrogant.  He  v^as  iuvolved 
in  war  with  Sulfdn  Bahlol  and  was  defeated.  Sultdn  Bahlol  left^  his  son 
Bdrbak  at  Jaunptlr  and  entrusted  him  with  the  goverument.  On  the  death 
of  Sultan  Bahlol  the  throne  of  Delhi  devolved  on  SulfAn  Sikandar. 
Sultan  Husain  with  the  connivance  of  Birbak  collected  troops,  made 
several  attempts  against  Delhi,  but  with  him  the  Sharhi  dynasty  closed.^

to  tbe  west,  Kanauj.  Its  olimate  is  good,  Sammer  and  winter  are  nearly 
temperate.  Its  principal  streams  are  the  Sari  {Sarji),  the  Ohaghar 
{Oogra)  the  Sai  and  the  Oodi  (Oumti),  In  the  first  mentioned,  divers 
aquatic  animals  and  forms  of  strange  appearance  show  themselves.  Agricul*

Madkhar,  and  Jhanwdh,^  which  for  whiteness,  delicacy,  fragrance  and 
wholesomeness  are  scarcely  to  be  matched.  They  sow  their  rice  three 
months  earlier  than  in  other  parts  of  Hindustan.  When  the  drought  begins, 
the  Sai  and  the  Gogra  rise  high  in  flood  and  before  the  beginning  of  the 
rains,  the  land  is  inundated,  and  as  the  waters  rise,  the  stalks  of  rice  shoot  up 
and  proportionately  lengthen :  the  crop,  however,  is  destroyed  if  the  floods 
are  in  full  force  before  the  rice  is  in  ear.  Mowers,  fruit  and  game  are 
alnmdant.  Wild  bulEaloes  are  numerous.  When  the  plains  are  inundated 
the  animals  take  to  the  high  ground  where  the  people  find  sport  in  hunting

^preach  the  dry  ground  and  breathe  in  freedom.  AwadJfi  is  one  of  the 
latest  cities  of  India.  In  is  situated  in  longitude  118^,  6',  and  latitude 
Wy  22'.  It  ancient  times  its  populous  site  covered  an  extent  of  148  hos 
A  length  and  36  in  breadth,  and  it  is  esteemed  one  of  the  holiest  places 
at  antiquity.  Around  the  environs  of  the  city,  they  sift  the  earth  and 
gold  is  obtained.  It  was  the  residence  of  B&machandra^  who  in  the  Treta^ 
agp  combined  in  his  own  person  both  the  spiritual  supremacy  and  the 
kmgly  office. 

At  the  distance  of  one  ho8  from  the  city,  the  (hgra,  after  its  junction 
with  the  Sai,  flows  belows  the  fort.  Near  the  city  stand  two  considerable 
tombs  of  six  and  seven  yards  in  length  respectively.  The  vulgar  believe 
Ihem  to  be  the  resting-places  of  Seth  and  the  prophet  Job,  and  extra-

In  the  vicinity  of  the  town,  there  is  a  village  called  Dokon  which  for

The  river  Godi  (Ghimti)  flows  near  it,  and  around  are  numerous  temples. 
There  is  a  tank  called  Brahmdwartkund  in  which  the  water  boils  and 
with  such  a  swirl,  that  a  man  cannot  sink  therein,*  and  it  ejects  whatever 


vanished.  A  heap  of  beautiful  flowers 
was  there  discovered,  which,  divided 
among  the  rival  worshippers,  were  bu- 
ried or  burnt  according  to  their  re- 
spective rites.  Pilgrims  from  upper 
India  to  this  day  beg  a  spoonful  of  rice 
water  from  the  Kabir  Monastery  at 
Puri  in  Bengal.

purpuratum,  as  Tieffenthaler  writes, 
crowned  with  the  double  glories  of  the 
hero  and  the  martyr. 

'  It  would  seem  from  a  passage  of 
Ferishta  mentioning  an  inroad  of 
Tibetans  into    Kashmir    in    the  reign 


of  Ibrahim,  son  of  N£suk  Shih  (p. 
359,  II)  that  the  yik  is  meant.  The 
Kashmiris  retaliated  by  pursuing  the 
marauders,  and  exacting  as  compensa- 
tion 500  horses,  1000  pieces  of  paU4, 
200  sheep  and  50  kutis  cows  (  u^^  ^1 
Later  on,  it  is  mentioned  by  Abul  Fail 
among  the  fauna  of  India  and  described 
as  little  differing  from  the  common  cow

The  Subah  of  Agra,  the  Boyal  Residence. 
It  is  situated  in  the  second  climate.  Its  length  from  Ohdtam^  on 
the  Allahabad  side  to  PaUoal  on  that  of  Delhi  is  175  koi.  In  breadth  it 
faka^  from  Kanauj  to  OhandSriiu  Mdlwah.  On  the  east  lies  Ohitampwr; 
to  tiie  north,  the  Ganges ;  to  the  south  GhandSri,  and  to  the  west,  PaltodL 
It  possesses  many  rivers,  of  which  the  principal  are  the  Jumna  and  the 
Ohamhal.  The  former  flows  down  from  the  northern  mountains,  the  latter 
rises  at  HdsH^r  in  Mdl/wah  and  unites  with  the  Jumna  at  Kdljpi.  Banges 
of  bills  lie  scattered  to  the  south.  The  excellence  of  its  climate  is  almost 
muiTaUed.  Agriculture  is  in  perfection.  Fruits  and  flowers  of  all  kinds 
abound.  Sweet-scented  oil,  and  betel-leaf  of  the  first  quality  are  here 
obtained,  and  its  melons  and  grapes  rival  those  of  Persia  and  Transoxiana. 
Sgra  is  a  large  city  and  possesses  a  healthy  climate.  The  river  Jwrrma 
flows  through  it  for  five  hos,  and  on  either  bank  are  delightful  villas  and

pleasant  stretches  of  meadow.  It  is  filled^  with  people  from  all  countries 
and  is  the  emporinm  of  the  traffic  of  the  world.  His  Majesty  has  hnilt 
a  fort  of  red  stone,  the  like  of  which  travellers  have  never  recorded.  It 
contains  more  than  five  hundred  buildings  of  masonry  after  the  beautiful 
designs  of  Bengal  and  Gujerat  which  masterly  sculptors  and  cjinning  artists 
of  form  have  fashioned  as  architectural  models.  At  the  eastern  gate  are 
two  elephants  of  stone  with  their  riders  graven  with  exquisite  skill.  In 
former  times  Agra  was  a  village  dependent  on  BidnahK  Sultan  Sikandar 
Lodhi  made  it  his  capital,^  but  his  present  Majesty  embellished  it  and 
thus  a  matchless  city  has  arisen.  On  the  opposite  side  of  the  river  is  the 
Char  Bdghy  a  memorial  of  Bdbar.*  It  was  the  birth-place  of  the  writer 
of  this  work,  and  the  last  resting-place  of  his  grandfather^  and  his  elder 
brother.  Shaikh  j^la  u'ddin  Majzdb,  Bafiiu'ddin  Safaw:  and  many  other 
saintly  personages  also  repose  there. 

Near  the  city  on  the  banks  of  the  river  Jumna  is  a  village  called 
Bangtah,  a  much  frequented  place  of  Hindu  worship. 

Fatehpur  was  a  viUage  formerly  one  of  the  dependencies  of  Biamh^ 
and  then  called  Stkrt,  situated  twelve  kos  distant  from  Agra.  After  the 
accession  of  his  Majesty,  it  rose  to  be  a  city  of  the  first  importanca 
A  masonry  fort  was  erected  and  two  elephants  carved  in  stone  at  its 
gate  inspire  astonishment.  Several  noble  buildings  also  rose  to  com- 
pletion and  although  the  royal  palace  and  the  residences  of  many  of  the 
nobility  are  upon  the  summit  of  the  hill,  the  plains  likewise  are  studded 
with  numerous  mansions  and  gardens.  By  the  command  of  his  Majesty 
a  mosque,  a  college  and  a  religious  house  were  also  built  upon  the  hill,  the 
like  of  which  few  travellers  can  name.  In  the  neighbourhood  is  a  tank, 
twelve  kos  in  circumference  and  on  its  embankmeut  his  Majesty  constmct- 
ed  a  spacious  courtyard,  a  mindr^  and  a  place  for  the  game  of  Chaugdn ; 
elephant  fights  were  also  exhibited.     In  the  vicinity  is  a  quarry  of  red  stone 


^  I  am  inclined  to  doubt  the  correct- 
neBf  of  the  jnxtapoiition  of  «^vl  with 
A^'wA  and  would  refer  the  former 
to  the  preceding  sentence,  and  place 
the  stop  after  it.  The  S.  ol.  M.  bears 
ont  this  view.

•  The  old  Agra  of  the  Lodhi  dy- 
nasty lay  on  the  left  bank  of  the  river 
where   traces  of  its  foundations    still 


exist.  The  modem  city  is  on  the  right 
bank  and  is  the  work  of  Akbar.  The 
fort  was  built  in  A.  D.  1566.

whence  colamns  and  slabs  of  any  dimensions  can  be  excavated.  In  these 
two  cities  under  his  Majesty's  patronage  carpets  and  fine  stuffs  are  woven 
and  nnmerons  handicraftsmen  have  full  occapation.  Bidnah  in  former 
times  was  a  large  city.  It  possesses  a  fort  containing  many  buildings 
and  cellars,  and  people  at  the  present  day  still  find  therein  weapons  of  war 
and  copper  utensils.  There  is  also  a  lofty  tower.  Fine  mangoes  grow  here, 
some  of  them  more  than  two  pounds  in  weight.  Sugar  of  extreme  white- 
ness is  also  manufactured.  Here  too  is  a  well,  with  the  water  of  which 
mixed  with  white  sugar,  they  make  cakes  weighing  two  pounds  more  or 
less  which  they  call  kandcturah  (with  no  other  water  will  they  solidify) 
aod  these  are  taken  to  the  most  distant  parts  as  a  rarity.  Indigo  of  finest 
quality  is  here  to  be  obtained,  selling  at  ten  to  twelve  rupees  per  man  weight. 
Excellent  hinna  is  also  to  be  found,  and  here  are  the  tombs  of  many  emi- 
nent personages. 

Todah  Bhtm  is  a  place  at  a  distance  of  three  kos,  from  which  is  a  pit 
fall  of  water,  the  depth  of  which  none  has  sounded.  Mines  of  copper  and 
turquoise  are  said  to  exist,  but  the  expense  of  working  them  exceeds  their 
income. 

Mathura  (Muttra)  is  a  city  on  the  banks  of  the  Jvmna :  it  contains 
lome  fine  temples,  and  is  one  of  the  most  famous  of  Hindd  shrines.  Kdlpi 
is  a  town  on  the  banks  of  the  Jumna,  It  is  the  resting-place  of  many 
saintly  personages.  Excellent  sugarcandy  is  here  manufactured.  In  the 
time  of  the  Sharhi  princes,  it  was  tributary  to  Delhi.  When  Kadir  Khdn 
affecting  the  airs  of  sovereignty  proclaimed  his  independence,  SuH^n 
Hoshang  marched  from  Milwah  and  having  chastised  him,  reinstated  him 
in  the  government.  Sultan  Mnhmud  of  the  Sharhi  dynasty,  however, 
seised  it  in  turn  from  Na^ir  Khdn  the  son  of  Kddir  Khan. 

Ka/navj  was  in  ancient  times  the  capital  of  Hindustdn. 

Owaliar  is  a  fanlous  fortress  and  an  elephant  carved  in  stone  at  its 
gate  fills  the  beholder  with  astonishment.  It  contains  some  stately  edi- 
fices of  its  former  rulers.  Its  climate  is  good.  It  has  always  been  noted 
for  its  exquisite  singers^  and  lovely  women  :  here  is  an  iron  mine. 

Alwar  (Ulwar)  produces  glass  and  woollen  carpets. 

Ferdih^  possesses  a  copper  mine,  so  profitable  that  from  a  man  weight 
of  ore,  they  obtain  35  sere  of  metal.  A  silver  mine  is  also  said  to  exist  but 
it  does  not  pay  to  work  it.

of  ity  and  such  an  occurrence  brings  good  fortune  to  the  reigning  monarch. 

In  the  43rd  year  of  the  Divine  Era  when  the  writer  of  this  work  was 
proceeding  to  the  Deccan  by  command  of  his  Majesty,  a  week  before  his 
arrival  at  Ujjain^  on  the  16th  of  the  Divine  month  of  Farwardin  (March) 
four  gharis  of  the  night  having  elapsed,  this  flow  occurred,  and  and  all  condi- 
tions of  people,  Musalman  and  Hindu  alike  talked  of  it.* 

In  the  neighbourhood  are  3t)0  places  of  religious  worship  for  BdUi- 
mans  and  other  Hindus.  Close  to  this  city  is  a  place  called  Kdliyddah, 
an  extremely  agreeable  residence  where  thei'e  is  a  reservoir  continually 
ovei-flowing  yet  ever  full.  Around  it  are  some  graceful  summer  dwell- 
ings, the  monuments  of  a  past  age. 

Garha^  is  a  separate  state,  abounding  with  forests  in  which  are  nu- 
merous wild  elephants.  The  cultivators  pay  the  revenue  in  mohurs  and 
elephants.  Its  produce  is  sufficient  to  supply  fully  both  Gujarit  and 
the  Deccan. 

Chanderi  was  one  of  the  largest  of  ancient  cities  and  possesses  a  stone 
fort.  It  contains  14,000  stone  houses,  384  markets,  360  spaeious  caravan- 
serais and  12,000  mosques. 

Tumun  is  a  village  on  the  river  Beiha  (Betwd)  in  which  mermen  are 
seen.  There  is  also  a  large  temple  in  which  if  a  drum  is  beaten,  no  sound 
is  heard  without. 

In  the  Sarkar  of  Btjdgarh  there  are  herds  of  wild  elephants.  Mandii  ia 
a  large  city ;  the  circumference  of  its  fort  is  12  kos,  and  in  it  there  is  an 
octagonal  tower.  For  some  period  it  was  the  seat  of  government  and 
stately  edifices  still  recall  their  ancient  lords.     Here  are  the  tombs  of  the 


*  Another  reading  adopted  by  Glad- 
win is  "  partook  of  it."  Gladwin  while 
rejecting  this  fable,  suggests  a  sadden 
impregnation  of  the  river  with  chalk  and 
happily  quotes  Pope*s  Windsor  Forest 
regarding  one  of  our  own  rivers,  **  And 
chalky  Wey  that  rolls  a  milky  wave." 
It  might  he  argued  that  the  people  of 
Ujjain  must  have  distiguished  chalky 
water  from  milk,  but  the  incapacity  in 


this  respect  of  Londoners  of  the  pre- 
sent day  triumphantly  answers  the  ob- 
jection. 

'  It  was  the  ancient  capital  of  the 
Gond  Dynasty  of  Garha  Mdndla  and  its 
ruined  keep  known  as  the  Madan  Mahal 
still  crowns  the  granite  range  along  the 
foot  of  which  the  town  stretches  for 
about  2  miles.     I.  G.

Khiiji  Saltans.  A  remarkable  fact  is  that  in  summer  time  water  trickles 
from  the  domed  roof  of  the  mausoleum  of  Sultan  Hosbang  and  the  simple- 
minded  bave  long  regarded  it  as  a  prodigy,  but  the  more  acute  of  under- 
standing can  satisfactorily  account  for  it.  Here  the  tamarind  grows  as 
large  as  a  cocoannt  and  its  kernel  is  extremely  white. 

Learned  Hindus  assert  that  a  stone  is  met  with  in  this  country  wbicb 
when  touched  by  any  malleable  metal  tarns  it  into  gold,  and  they  call  it 
Para*.  They  relate  that  before  the  time  of  Bikramdjit,  there  reigned  a 
just  prince  named  Raja  Jai  Sing  Deva  who  passed  his  life  in  deeds  of 
beneficence.  Such  a  stone  was  discovered  in  that  age,  and  became  the 
source  of  vast  wealth.  The  sickle  of  a  straw-cutter  by  its  action  was 
changed  into  gold.  The  man,  not  understanding  the  cause,  thought  that 
some  damage  had  occurred  to  it.  He  took  it  to  a  blacksmith  by  name 
Mandan  to  have  it  remedied,  who  divining  its  properties,  took  possession 
of  it,  and  amassing  immense  wealth,  garnered  a  store  of  delights.  But 
his  natural  beneficence  suggested  to  him  that  such  a  priceless  treasure 
was  more  fitted  for  the  reigning  prince,  and  going  to  court  he  presented  it. 
The  Rdja  made  it  the  occasion  of  many  good  deeds,  and  by  means  of  the 
riches  he  acquired,  completed  this  fort  in  twelve* years,  and  at  the  request 
of  the  blacksmith,  the  greater  number  of  the  stones  with  which  it  was 
bnilt,  were  shaped  like  an  anvil.  One  day  be  held  a  festival  on  the  banks 
of  the  Narbadah,  and  promised  to  bestow  a  considerable  fortune  on  his 
Bdihman  priest.  As  he  had  somewhat  withdrawn  his  heart  from  worldly 
goods,  he  presented  him  with  this  stone.  The  Brahman  from  igno- 
rance and  meanness  of  soul,  became  indignant  and  tbrew  the  precious 
treasure  into  the  river  to  his  subsequent  and  et>ernal  regret.  Its  depth 
there  prevented  his  recovering  it,  and  to  this  day  that  part  of  the  river 
has  never  been  fathomed. 

Bhdr  is  a  town  which  was  the  capital  of  Rajd  Bhoja  and  many  ancient 
princes.  The  vine  here  bears  twice  in  the  year  when  the  sun  first  enters 
Pisces  (February)  and  Leo  (July),  but  the  former  of  these  two  vintages  is 
the  sweeter.

*  This  line  is  flnppoeed  to  have  been 
fnrnished  from  Jain  authorities ;  it 
agrees  nearly  with  appendix  to  Agni 
Pormna,  (Wilford).  I  have  appended  to 
the  list  the  date  of  each  prince,  taken 
from  the  TJ.  T.  from  which  the  above 
is  quoted,  for  reference  and  comparison. 

S  See  Wilford's  Essay  on  Yiorama- 
ditya  and  Salivahana,  As.  Res.  IX.  117. 

'  This  and  the  following  name  are 
relegated  to  footnotes  in  the  text,  the 
variants  chosen,  however,  do  not  accord 
with  other  authorities. 


*  Under  power  of  a  ourse,  in  oonse- 
quence  of  a  crime,  he  was  changed  into 
an  ass  resuming  his  human  form  only  at 
night.  Hemrat,  notwithstanding,  gave 
him  his  daughter  in  marriage  and  she 
gave  birth  to  Vikramaditya.  Tieff.  Wil- 
ford plausibly  identifies  this  Vikrama- 
ditya with  the  Persian  Yezdejird  son 
of  Bahram  Gor,  and  adapts  in  ecmse- 
quence  a  suitable  ohronology.

properly,  Rama  Chandrft  who  did  not 


reign,  Chaitrapala  who  was  elected  after 
the  death  of  Jayananda,  and  Maha 
Ohandrapala  or  Mahendrapala  (p.  140) 
and  shoald  follow  and  not  precede  R^j4 
Bhoja,  (p.  166),  in  accordance  with  the

reason  for  the  transposition  most  be 
taken  on  trust.

In  1534  Malirah  tncorporattd  with  Oujerdt  kingdom ;  in  1568  annexed 
as  a  province  of  Akhar^s  empire. 

It  is  said  that  two  thousand,  three  hnndred  and  fifty-five  years,  fire 
months  and  twenty-seven  days  prior  to  this,  the  40th  year  of  the  Divine  Era', 
an  ascetio  named  Mahahdh^  kindled  the  first  flame  in  a  fire-temple,  and  devo- 
ting himself  to  the  worship  of  God,  resolutely  set  himself  to  the  consuming 
of  his  rebellious  passions.  Seekers  after  eternal  welfare  gathered  round 
him,  zealous  in  a  life  of  mortification.  About  this  time  the  Buddhists 
began  to  take  alarm  and  appealed  to  the  temporal  sovereign,  asserting  thai 
in  this  fire-temple,  many  living  things  were  consumed  in  flaming  fire,  and 
that  it  was  advisable  that  Brahmanical  rites  should  be  set  aside,  and  that 
he  should  secure  the  preservation  of  life.  It  is  said  that  their  prayer  was 
heard,  and  the  prohibition  against  the  said  people  was  enforced.  These 
men  of  mortified  appetites  resolved  on  redress,  and  sought  by  prayer  a 
deliverer  who  should  overthrow  Buddhism  and  restore  their  own  &ith. 
The  Supreme  Justice  brought  forth  from  this  fire-temple,  now  long  grown 
cold,  a  human  form,  resplendent  with  divine  majesty,  and  bearing  in  ito 


^  Var,  8huj&wal.  Perhaps  Shuj&a  dil. 
A  note  in  Bemonlli  sngg^estg  that  Tieffen- 
thaler  has  drawn  on  a  history  of  Milwah 
bj  Niz&mi  A.  H.  910.  (A.  D.  1504-5,) 
for  this  list  of  princes.  Its  identity  with 
that  of  Abul  Fazl,  and  the  fact  of  his 
having  largely  nsed  the  ^A£n  for  his 
geographical  description  of  HindiiBt&n, 
famishes  another  and  surer  infer- 
ence. 

«  This  would  be  B.  0.  761,  bnt  the  U. 
T.  antedates  the  appearance  of  Dhanji 
or  Arjan  by  nearly  a  century,  (B.  0. 
840)  and  places  the  time  of  Mahamah 
(sic.)  the  founder  of  the  fire-temple 
"  in  early  ages."  The  chronology  is,  of 
course,  like  the  account,  legendary.  The 
rise  of  Buddhism  occurred  in  the  6th 
century,  B.  0.  long  before  which  the 
Yedic  religion  was  in  operation,  in  which 
Agni  the  god  of  fire  was  the  object  of 
almost  as  many  hymns  as  Indra  himself, 


the  Aqueous  Vapour  and  bountiful  giver 
of  rain.  The  temporal  sovereign  to  whom 
the  Buddhists  appealed,  accords  with 
Asoka's  support  of  them.  His  age  is 
about  257  B.  C,  and  Arjun  appears  sub- 
sequently, but  as  this  hero,  with  his  five 
brothers,  was  miraculously  bom  in  the 
Mahabharata  the  main  story  of  which  if 
assigned  oonjecturally  to  about  1200 
B.  0.,  his  re-appearance  may  as  miraon- 
lously  and  conveniently  be  effected  at  any 
later  time.  It  is  more  probable,  howcTer, 
that  the  story  has  reference  to  some 
local  religious  factions  which  miist  have 
existed  at  many  places  and  times  in 
India  of  which  tradition,  as  in  the  case 
of  the  Brahman  Eum&rila,  and  the  per- 
secution  of  the  Buddhists  by  his  royal 
disciple  Sudhanwan  in  the  8th  century, 
has  exaggerated  the  extent  and  import- 
ance.

hand  a  flashing  Bword.  In  a  short  space,  he  enthroned  himself  on  the 
Bommit  of  power,  and  renewed  the  Brahmanical  ohservance.  He  assumed 
the  name  of  Dhanji  and  coming  from  the  Deooan,  estahlished  his  seat  of 
goToimient  at  M41wah  and  attained  to  an  advanced  age. 

When  Patrdj,  the  fifth  in  descent  from  him,  died  without  issue,  the 
nobles  elected  Aditja  Ponwir  his  successor,  and  this  was  the  origin  of  the 
BOTereignty  of  this  house.  On  the  death  of  Hemairth  in  battle,  Gandharb, 
the  chosen,  was  raised  to  the  throne.  The  Hindtis  believe  that  he  is  the 
same  as  Hemarth  whom  the  Supreme  Ruler  introduced  among  the  celestials 
in  the  form  of  a  Oandharh^  and  then  clothed  in  huinan  shape.  Thus  he 
became  universally  known  by  this  name  and  prospered  the  world  by  his 
justice  and  munificence.  A  son  was  bom  to  him  named  Bikram^jit  who 
kept  aflame  the  lamp  of  his  ancestors  and  made  extensive  conquests. 
The  Hindds  to  this  day  keep  the  beginning  of  his  reign  as  an  era  and 
rdate  wonderful  accounts  of  him.  Indeed  he  possessed  a  knowledge  of 
talismans  and  incantations  and  gained  the  credulity  of  the  simple.  Chan- 
diapal  obtained  in  turn  the  supreme  power  and  conquered  all  Hindiist&n. 
Bijainand  was  a  prince  devoted  to  the  chase.  Near  a  plant  of  the  Munjcfi 
he  suddenly  came  upon  a  new-bom  infant.    He  brought  him  up  as  his  own

Bon  and  called  him  by  the  name  of  Mtinja.  When  his  own  inevitable  time 
approached,  his  son  Bh6ja  was  of  tender  age.  He  therefore  appointed 
Monja  his  successor,  who  ended  his  life  in  the  wars  of  the  Deccan. 

Bb6ja  succeeded  to  the  throne  in  541st^  year  of  the  era  of  Bikram&jit 
and  added  largely  to  his  dominions,  administering  the  empire  with  justice 
and  liberality.   He  held  wisdom  in  honour,  the  learned  were  treated  with  dis- 
tinction, and  seekers  after  knowledge  were  encouraged  by  his  support. 
Five  hundred  sages,  the  most  erudite  of  the  age,  shone  as  the  gathered 
wisdom  of  his  court  and  were  entertained  in  a  manner  becoming  their 
dignity  and  merit.^    The   foremost  of  these  was   Barrnj,  a  second  was 
Dhanpdl,  who  have  composed  works  of  great   interest  and   left  them  to 
intelligent  seekers  of  truth,   as  a  precious  possession.     At  the  birth  of 
Bhdja,  either  through  a  grave  miscalculation   of  the  astrologers  or  some 
inadvertence  on  the  part  of  those  who  cast  his  horoscope,  the  learned  in 
the  stars  in  consultation  announced  a  nativity  of  sinister  aspect.    They 
prognosticated  hazard  to  the  lives  of  such  as  sympathised  with  him,  and 
these  to  save  their  own,  cast  this  nursling  of  fortune  in  the  dust  of  des- 
titution and  exposed  him  in  an  inhospitable  land.     He  was  there  nourished 
without  the  intervention  of  human  aid.     The  sage  Barraj,  who  at  that 
time  was  not  accounted  among  the  learned,  having  recast  his  horoscope 
after  profound  investigation,  foretold  the  good  tidings  of  a  nativity  linked 
to  a  long  life  and  a  glorious  reign.     This  paper  he  threw  in   the  way 
of  the  Raja,  whose  heart  on  reading  it,  was  agitated  with  the  impulse 
01  paternal  love.     He  convened  an  assembly  of  the  astrologers,  and  when 
the  nativity  was  scrutinised,  and  it  was  ascertained  where  the  error  lay, 
he  went  in  person  and  restored  Bhdja  to  favour  and  opened  the  eyes  of  his 
understanding  to  the  strangeness  of  fortune.     They  relate  that  when  the 
child  was  eight  years  old,  the  short-sighted  policy  of  Munja  impelled  him 
to  desperate  measures  and  he   contemplated  putting  the  innocent  boy  to 


^  Wilford  says  that  this  is  impossible 
as  it  would  place  Bhoja's  accession  in 
the  year  982  which  he  considers  to  be 
more  probably  the  date  of  his  death,  his 
accession  occorring  abont  the  year  918 
of  Christ.  This  must  be  Tod's  third 
Bija  of  the  name.  I  refer  the  reader 
to  Wilford's  Essay  where  he  may  lose 
himself  at  leisnro  in  the  wilderness  of 
conjectural  chronology  and  encounter

defttL    He  entrnsied  him  to  some  of  hia  trostj  followers  to  make  away 
with  him  secretlj,  bnt  these  ministers  of  death  spared  him,  and  concealing 
him,  invented  a  plausible  tale.     On  his  taking  leave,  he  gave  them  a  letter 
telling  them  to  read  it  to  the  lUjd  in  case  he  should  inquire  regarding 
him.    Its  purport  ran  as  follows : — *'  How  doth  darkness  of  soul  in  a  man 
cast  him  oat  of  the  light  of  wisdom,  and  in  unholy  machinations  stain  his 
hands  in  the  blood  of  the  innocent !     No  monarch  in  his  senses  thinks  to 
earry  with  hini  to  the  grave  his  kingdom  and  treasures,   but  thou  by 
%\xpng  me  seemest  to  imagine  that  his  treasures  perpetually  endure  and 
that  he  himself  is  beyond  the  reach  of  harm."    The  BAji  on  hearing  this 
letter,  was  aroused  from  his  day-dream  of  fancied  security  and  brooded  in 
remoTBe  over  his  crime.    His  agents,  when  they  witnessed  the  evidences 
of  his  sincerity  revealed  to  him  what  had  occurred.    He  gave  thanks  to 
God,  welcomed  Bh<$ja  with  much  affection  and  appointed  him  his  successor. 
When  his  son  Jayachand's^  reign  was  ended,  none  of  the  Poqiwir  caste  was 
fcmnd  worthy  to  succeed.    Jitpal  of  the  To^war  caste,  who  was  one  of 
the  principal  landowners  was  elected  to  the  throne,  and  thus  by  the  vicis- 
Bitades  of  fortune  the  sovereignty  passed  into  this  family.     When  Ku^- 
warpil  died,  the  royal  authority  passed  into  the  hands  of  the  Ghauh&ns. 
During  the  reign  of  Maldeva,  Shaikh  Sh&h  came  from  Ohazni  and  ac-

death  his  son  A14  u'd  din  was  a  minor,  and  his  chief  minister  Dharm  Rij 
6M  occupied  the  throne.    As  soon  as  J^  u'd  din  came  of  age,  he  rose  in

abettors,  laying  an  ambnBli  for  the  B4j&,  slew  him  while  hunting,  and 
assumed  the  sovereignty  with  the  title  of  Jal41  u'd  din.  Tippars6n  had 
married  his  son  Kharaks^n  into  the  family  of  the  Riji  of  K&mrdp.^  The 
Bdjd,  for  his  eminent  services,  appointed  this  adopted  son  his  heir,  and 
when  the  BAji  died,  Eharaks^n  ascended  the  throne  and  to  avenge  his 
wrongs  marched  an  army  against  Mdlwah  and  Adlam  Sh4h  was  killed  in 
battle. 

In  the  reign  of  Sakat  Sing  a  prince  named  Bah&dut  Shih  advanced 
from  the  Decoan  and  having  put  the  B&j4  to  death,  marched  against 
Delhi  and  was  taken  prisoner  while  fighting  against  Sulfin  Shah^b  u*d  din. 

From  the  time  of  Snlt&n  Ghiyd?  u'd  din  Balban  (A.  D.  1265) 
to  that  of  Sultdn  Muhammad  son  of  Firoz  SMk  (A.  D.  1387)  no  serious 
weakness  in  the  imperial  authority  betrayed  itself,  but  on  his  death  the 
empire  of  Delhi  became  a  prey  to  distractions.  Diliwar  Kh^  Ghori 
who  had  been  appointed  by  him  to  the  government  of  M&lwah,  assumed 
independence.  The  Sult&n  bestowed  the  government  of  four  provinces 
upon  four  individuals  who  had  been  &dthful  to  him  in  his  adversity.  To 
Zafar  Eh4n'  he  gave  Gujerdt ;  Khizr  Kh4n  was  appointed  to  Multin ; 
Khw4jah  Sarwar  to  Jaunpdr  and  DiUwar  Kh&n  to  M41wah.  After  his 
death,  the  time  being  favourable,  each^  of  the  four  assumed  indepen- 
dence. 

Alp  Khdn  the  son  of  DilAwar  Kh4n  was  elected  to  the  succession 
under  the  title  of  Hoshang.  It  is  said  that  his  father  was  poisoned  by 
his  order  whereby  he  has  gained  everlasting  abhorrence.  Sulfdn  Muza&r 
of  Gujer&t  marched  against  him  and  took  him  prisoner  and  left  his  own 
brother  Na^ir  Kh&n  in  command  of  the  province.  But  as  he  was  tyrannons 
in  conduct  and  ignored  the  interests  of  his  subjects,  Mtisa,  cousin  \A

bom  confinement  and  despaicbed  liiin  to  MiUwah  in  company  with  his  own 
son  A^mad  Khin^  and  in  a  short  time  he  was  restored  to  power.  On  the 
death  of  Mozafibr,  he  perfidiooslj  marched  against  Gnjerat,  bat  meeting 
with  no  success,  retnmed.  On  several  subsequent  occasions  he  attacked 
Saltan  Alpnad  of  Ghijerdt  but  was  shamefully  defeated. 

On  one  occasion  cunningly  disguised  as  a  merchant,  he  set  out  for 
Jijnagar.^  The  ruler  of  that  country  accompanied  by  a  small  retinue 
Tisited  the  oararan.  Hoshang  took  him  prisoner  and  hastened  back. 
While  journeying  together,  Hoshang  told  him  that  he  had  been  induced 
to  nndertake  this  expedition  in  order  to  procure  a  supply  of  elephants  and 
added  that  if  his  people  attempted  a  rescue,  the  prince's  life  should  pay 
the  penalty.  The  prince  therefore  sending  for  a  number  of  valuable 
elephants,  presented  them  to  him  and  was  set  at  liberty. 

Hoshang  was  engaged  in  wars  with  Mubirak  Shih  son  of  Ehizr  Khiu 
▼iceroy*  of  Delhi,  with  Sult&n  Ibrahim  of  the  Jaunpdr  dynasty,  and  with 


'  Jijpdr  on  the  Baitar&ni  river  in 
Orisaa,  capital  of  the  province  nnder  the 
lion  Dynasty,  the  Gajpati  or  Lords  of 
Elephants.  This  story  oocnrs  in  the 
Tab.  Akbari,  p.  537,  and  in  Ferishta, 
Vol  n,  p.  236.  (Briggs,  IV,  178).  Pe- 
ziahta's  account  is  that  in  A.  H.  825 
(1421^2),  Hoshang  with  a  1,000  picked 
cavahy  disg^nised  as  a  merchant  set  ont 
for  Jijnagar,  one  month's  joomey  from 
Mihrah  and  took  with  him  a  nnmber  of 
cream-oolonred  horses,  much  songht  after 
by  the  ruler  of  Orissa  and  stuffs  of  vari- 
ous kinds,  his  object  being  to  exchange 
tiiese  for  elephants  the  better  to  meet 
Sol^in  Mmad  of  Gnjer&t  in  the  field. 
On  his  arrival  near  Jajnagar  he  sent  to 
inform  the  B&jah  of  the  presence  of  his 
Qiravan  and  the  prince  arrived  with  a 
nimber  of  elephants  to  barter  for  the 
hones,  or  ready  to  pay  in  coin,  as  the 
need  arose.  The  horses  were  caparison- 
ed and  the  stuffs  laid  out  for  inspection, 
when,  a  storm  of  rain  came  on  and  the 
li^tniiig  frightening  the  elephants,  they 
trampled  on  the  goods  and  caused  great 
damage.  Hoshang  tore  his  hair  and 
swore  that  life  was  no  longer  worth  hav- 


ing and  at  a  sig^ial*  his  men  mounted  and 
attacked  the  R&ji's  guard,  and  put  them 
to  flight.  Capturing  the  R^ja,  Hosh- 
ang discovered  himself  and  excused  his 
action  on  the  ground  of  the  destruction 
of  his  property.  He  then  stated  his  ob- 
ject. The  R&jah  admired  his  audacity 
and  75  elephants  purchased  his  own  re- 
lease. Hoshang  carried  him  as  far  as  the 
frontier  and  set  him  at  liberty.  On  the 
lUja's  return  to*  his  own  capital,  he 
sent  Hoshang  a  further  present  of  a  few 
more  of  his  finest  elephants  in  testimony 
of  his  gallantry.  Hoshang  returned  to 
Mando  which  Sul^  A|^mad  was  be- 
seig^ing  and  eluding  an  engagement  en- 
tered it  by  the  T&r&pdr  gate  Ferishta

by  Sul(£n  Shams  n*d  din  Bhankarah  of 
Bengal  to  J&jnagar  about  A.  H.  754 
(A.  D.  1853)  to  obtain  elephants  (p.  296, 
Yol.  II)  which  proves  the  reputation  of 
that  province  for  the  superior  breed  or 
number  of  these  animals.

Sultan  A(^mad  of  ihe  Deccan.^  On  his  death,  the  nobles,  in  aceordaiice 
with  his  bequest,  raised  his  son  Na^ir*  Kh6n  to  the  throne  under  the  title 
of  Muhammad  Sh&h.  Mal;^miid  Ehan,  oousin  of  Saltan  Hoshang,  basely 
bribed  his  cup  bearer  and  that  venal  wretch  poisoned  the  Sultan's  wine. 
The  generals  of  the  army  kept  his  death  becret  hoping  to  place  his  son 
Mas^^d  Khan  upon  the  throne  and  they  sent  to  confer  with  Ma^M 
Khan.  He  replied  that  worldly  affairs  had  no  longer  any  interest  for  him 
but  that  if  his  presenoe  in  council  were  necessary,  thej  must  come  to  him. 
They  foolishly  went  to  his  house  and  were  placed  in  confinement,  and  by  the 
aid  of  some  disloyal  mercenary  partisans,  he  seized  upon  the  sovereignly 
of  M^wah  and  was  proclaimed  under  the  title  of  Sul^in  Mahmud  (Kbilji). 
Upon  such  a  wretch,^  in  its  wondrous  vicissitudes  thus  did  Fortune  smile 
and  the  awe  he  inspired  secured  him  the  tranquil  possession  of  power.  He 
waged  wars  with  Sultan  Mul^mmad  son  of  Mubdrak  Shih,  king  of  Delhi, 
with  Sultan  Al^nad,  king  of  Gujer&t,  with  Sultin  Husain  Sharki  of 
Jdunptir,  and  with  R4na  Kombha^  of  Mew&r.

the  passage  quoted  and  underlined  by 
me  above.  Briggs  represents  his  origi- 
nal with  freedom,  but  in  the  main,  as 
far  as  I  have  seen,  with  truth.  In  this 
instance  his  paraphrase  has  misled  Dom 
into  an  inference,  probably  not  intended, 
but  if  intended,  certainly  incorrect.

the  information  that  he  was  the  father 
of  B^ma  Chandra,  known  as  Bama. 
Professor  Cowell  of  Cambridge  has 
placed  me  under  obligations  for  the 
following  note  :  "  Dafiaratha*s  crime  was 
committed  in  his  youth  when  he  un- 
wittingly  killed  the  hermit's  son  in  the 
forests  by  the  banks  of  the  river  Sarayfi 
in  Ondh.  The  story  is  told  in  B^milyan, 
Bk.  II,  Sec.  63  (see  Griffith's  translation, 
VoL  II,  p.  243).  He  was  cursed  by  the 
bereaved  father  and  fated  to  be  simi- 
larly agonised  for  the  loss  of  his  son  in 
after  years.  I  suppose  these  universally 
known  legends  are  localised  in  different 
spots  of  India,  like  King  Arthur's  ex- 
ploits in  Cornwall,  Wales  and  Scotland. 
The  shrine  of  local  celebrity  in  Khan- 
desh  no  doubt  claimed  the  glory  of 
having  been  Daferatha's  resort  after  his 
crime  in  order  to  expiate  his  guilt."

to  him  in  a  dream,  and  said,  '*  Undertake  these  fatigues  no  longer ;  I  my- 
self will  rise  np  in  thy  cell/'  Accordingly  in  the  morning  it  began  to  well 
forth  and  is  flowing  at  the  present  time.

Ohopfah  is  a  large  flourishing  town,  near  which  is  a  shrine  call-

Malh&mad^ 

ThMner  was  for  a  time  the  capital  of  the  Fdrufei  princes.  The  fort 
though  situated  on  the  plain  is  nevertheless  of  great  strength. 

This  8ubah  contains  82  parganahs.  Scarce  any  land  is  out  of  cultiva-

docile  and  industrious.  The  provincial  force  is  formed  of  KSlia,  BhiU  and 
Oonds,  Some  of  these  can  tame  lions,  so  that  they  will  obey  their  com*

from  whom  Bahddwi*  is  the  ninth  in  descent,  nnder  stress  of  misfortune 
came  from  Bidan^  to  these  parts  and  established  himself  in  the  village  of 
KarSndA^^  a  dependency  of  Thdlnir^  but  being  molested  by  the  natives,  he 
repaired  to  Delhi  and  took  service  nnder  Saltan  Fir6z.  The  king  admired 
his  skill  as  a  huntsman,  and  his  reward  being  left  to  his  own  choice,  he 
received  a  grant  of  that  village^  and  by  jadicions  policy  acquired  possession 
of  other  estates  and  reclaimed  much  waste  land.  In  the  year  784  A.  H. 
(A.  D.  1382),  he  made  TMUiSt  his  seat  of  government,  assumed  the  title 
of  Aadil  Shdh  and  reigned  for  17  years.  He  was  succeeded  by  his  son 
Ghizni^  Eh4n  under  the  title  of  Nafir  Sh4h,  after  which  this  province 
became  known  as  Ehind6s.  He  reigned  40  years,  6  months,  and  26 
days.  On  his  death  his  son  Mir&n  Shah  administered  the  state,  fiy 
some  he  is  called  ^-^dol  Shah.  He  occupied  the  throne  3  years,  8  months 
and  23  days.  He  was  followed  by  his  son  Mub4rik  Sh&h  Chaukandi*' 
Sultan  during  17  years,  6  months  and  29  days.  His  son  ^kdll  Shah 
4-yn4^  whose  name  was  Al^san  Khdn,  had  a  prosperous  reign  of  46  years, 
8  months  and  2  days.  He  removed  to  Burhdnp^tr  and  made  himself 
master  of  Asir.*  Soltan  A^mad  of  Oujerdt,  the  founder  of  AJ;^med4bad, 
gave  him  his  daughter  in  marriage.  At  his  death,  his  brother  Daid

Its  original  Dame  was  Wdrddtaf,  from  Warda^  the  river  of  that  name 
and  taf,  a  bank.  It  is  situated  in  the  second  climate.  Its  length  from 
Batdlah^  to  Btragarh  is  200  kos,  its  breadth  from  Bidar  to  Hindiah  180 
ho8.  On  the  east  lies  Biragarh  adjoining  Bastar;  to  the  north  is  Hindiah; 
to  the  south  Telingdnah  ;*  on  the  west  Mahkardbdd.  It  is  a  tract — situated 
between  two  hill-ranges  having  a  southerly  direction.  One  of  these  is  called 
Bandah^  upon  which  are  the  forts  of  Odwilgar\  Namilat  and  MSlgafh. 
The  other  is  Sahta,^  whereon  rise  the  forts  of  Mah6r  and  lUmgarh. 

The  climate  and  cultivation  of  this  province  are  remarkably  good. 
There  are  many  rivers,  the  principal  of  which  is  called  Gang  Oautami  called 
also  the  Qodaveri, 

As  the  Ganges  of  Hindustan  is  chiefly  connected  with  the  worslup 
of  MahAdeo,  so  is  this  river  with  (the  Bishi)  Gautama,  Wonderful  tales 
are  related  regarding  it  and  it  is  held  in  great  sanctity.  It  rises  near 
Trimhak^  in  the  Sahia  range  and  passing  through  the  country  of  Ahmad- 
nagar,  enters  Berdr  and  flows  into  Telingdnah.  When  Jupiter  enters  the 
fiign  Leo,  pilgrims  flock  from  all  parts  to  worship.*  The  Tdlx'  and  TapU 
are  also  venerated.  Another  river  the  Pumd  rises  near  Diwalgdony  and 
again  the  Wardd  issues  forth  ten  kos  higher  up  than  the  source  of  the 
Tdli.     The  Napta^  (?)  also  rises  near  DSwalgdon, 

In  this  country  the  term  for  a  Ohaudhri  is  Desmukhf  for  a  Kdning6^ 
Bda  Pdndiah ;  the  Mukaddam  is  called  Paftl  and  the  Patwir,  Kalkami.

its  boffaloefl.  In  the  yicinitj  is  a  Zaminddr  named  Bahjeo  of  the  t^ond 
tribe,  more  generally  known  as  Ohandd :  a  force  of  1,000  horse  and  40,000 
foot  is  under  his  command.  Btrdgafh  which  has  a  diamond  mine  and 
where  figured  cloths  and  other  stuffs  are  woven,  is  under  his  authoritj 
It  is  but  a  short  time  since  that,  he  wrested  it  from  another  chief.  Wild 
elephants  abound. 

About  Bdsim  is  an  indigenous  race  for  the  most  part  proud  and 
refractory  called  Hatkars  :  their  force  consists  of  1,000  cavalry  and  5,000 
infantry^  Banjdrah  is  another  Zamindari^  with  100  horse  and  1,000  foot 
At  the  present  time  it  is  under  the  authority  of  a  woman.  Both  tribes 
are  R&jptits. 

Mahor  (Mahur,  I.  O.)  is  a  fort  of  considerable  strength  situated  on  a 
hill.  Adjacent  is  a  temple  dedicated  to  DurgA^  known  in  this  oountry  as 
Jagadathd,  Here  the  buffaloes  are  of  a  fine  breed  and  yield  half  a  man 
and  more  of  milk.  The  Zaminddr  is  a  Rajptit  named  Indrajeo  and  is  en- 
titled Bdnd.     He  commands  100  horse  and  1,000  foot. 

Mdnikdrug  is  a  remarkable  fort  on  a  hill  surrounded  by  eztensire 
forests.     It  is  near  Ghandd^  but  up  to  the  present  is  independent  territory. 

Jitawpur  is  a  village  in  the  Sarkdr  of  Fdthriy  where  there  is  a  thii?iiig 
trade  in  jewels  and  other  articles  of  value. 

TeUngdnah  was  subject  to  Kufb  u*l  Mulk^  but  for  some  time  past  has 
been  under  the  authority  of  the  ruler  of  Berar. 

In  Indore  and  Normal  there  exist  mines  of  steel  and  other  metals. 
Shapely  stone  utensils  are  also  carven  here.  The  breed  of  buffaloes  is  fine 
and,  strangely  enough,  the  domestic  cocks  are  observed  to  have  bones  and 
blood  of  a  black  colour.  A  Zaminddr  called  Ohandnerif  is  Besmukh^  a  man 
of  most  distinguished  character  and  who  has  a  force  of  300  horse.  Mm-

Kistni  known  as  Kalinga.  No  aocorate

formance  of  good  works  can  be  applied  as  a  means  of  delirerance  to  tbe 
flonls  of  deceased  ancestors ;  namely,  Oayd  in  Behdr  which  is  dedicated  to 
BrahmOy  Oayd^  near  Bijdpur  dedicated  to  Budray^  and  this  one.  Here  is  alsa 
a  rraervoir,  having  a  spring  in  it  of  great  depth,  and  measnring  a  hos  in 
length  and  in  breadth,  and  surrounded  hj  lofty  hills.  The  water  is 
brackish,  but  when  taken  from  the  centre  or  at  its  sides,  it  is  sweet.  It 
contuns  the  essential  materials  for  the  manufacture  of  glass  and  soap 
and  saltpetre  is  here  produced  and  yields  a  considerable  revenue. 

On  the  summit  of  a  hill  is  a  spring  at  the  mouth  of  which  is  carved 
Hbe  figure  of  a  bull.  The  water  never  flows  from  this  spring  to  the  other, 
imt  when  the  30th  lunar  day'  falls  on  a  Monday,  its  stream  flows  into  the 
large  reservoir.  In  the  neighbourhood  is  a  Zamtnddr  called  Wdilah  of  the 
E^jpdt  tribe,  commanding  200  horse  and  2,000  foot.  Another  is  called 
Sarkath,  also  a  Rajput,  and  possesses  100  horse  and  1,0C0  foot. 

Batialah  is  a  fort  of  considerable  strength  on  a  hill,  of  which  Pafdl 
Nagari  is  a  dependency.  In  the  sides  of  the  hill  twenty-four  temples  have 
been  cut,  each  containing  remarkable  idols.  The  Zamtnddr  is  Medni  Bdo,  a 
Bijpdt,  with  200  horse  and  1,000  foot.  Another  is  Kdrnjeo^  a  Rijptit 
having  under  him  100  horse  and  1,000  foot. 

This  Suhah  contains  16  sarkdrs  and  142  jperganahs.  From  an  early 
period  the  revenues  were  taken  by  a  valuation  of  crops,  and  since  the 
tankah  of  this  country  is  equal  to  8  of  Delhi,  the  gross  revenue  was 
^  krors  of  tankahs  or  56  krora  of  ddma^  (Rs.  14,000,000).  Some  of  the 
Deccani  princes  increased  the  revenue  to  37,525,350  tankahs.  In  the  time 
of  Sultan  Murad  a  further  addition  of  2,637,454  Berdri  tankahs  was  made. 
The  total  amounted  to  40,162,704  Ber&ri  tankahs.  The  original  amount 
and  the  additional  increase  were  thus  tabulated,  the  whole  reaching  the 
amount  of  642,603,272  Delhi  ddms. 


^  The  '  Howler '  an  epithet  of  Siva  or 
his  inferior  manifestation  as  a  roaring 
tempest. 

*  Amiwaa,  see  p.  17  of  this  volome. 

^  This  makes  16  ddms  to  the  tankah. 
In  the  revenue  statement  of  Khiindesh, 
the  tankah  is  reckoned  at  24  ddma.  That 
of  Gajerat  «>  ^^  af  a  dam  or  100  to  the 
rupee  of  40  ddms.  Bajley  Hist,  of  Gnje- 
Jtt,  p.  6.  If  Prince  Mnrad's  increase  bo 
added  to  that  of  tbe  Deccani  princes, 
the  total  gives  40,162,804  tinkahs.  This 
■nm  moltipUed  by  16  results  in  642,604- 


864  ddms.  As  40  Akbari  ddms  are  eqni- 
yalent  to  a  mpee,  the  above  total  repre- 
sents 16,065,121  rupees.  Under  Akbar, 
according  to  the  I.  G.  the  land  tax 
of  Berdr  was  Es.  17,376,117.  Under 
Sh&h  Jehan,  Rs.  13,750,000,  and  under 
Anrangzeb,  15,350,625,  bnt  the  latter 
amount,  taken  bj  Mr.  E.  Thomas  from 
Manncoi,  is  g^ven  by  Tieffenthaler  from 
the  same  anthoritj  as  10,587,500.  See 
his  dissertation  on  the  apparent  inaoon*

This  province  was  dependent  on  the  ruler  of  the  Deccan.  During  the 
reign  of  Sult&n  Ma^dd,  five  Sarddrs  rebelled  and  kept  him  under  re- 
straint, and  the  sovereignty  was  assumed  by  Fa(^  u'l  lah  who  had  held  the 
office  of  Im^  u'l  Mulk.^  He  ruled  but  four  years.  At  his  death,  his 
son  AU  u'd  din,  took  the  same  title  and  reigned  40  years.  His  son 
Daryd  Kh&n  succeeded,  and  enjoyed  the  government  for  15  years.  After 
him,  his  son,  Burh&n  a  minor,  was  raised  to  the  throne,  but  the  nobles 
perfidiously  usurped  the  administration,  till  Murtaza  Niz&m  u*l  Hulk

Amir,  the  founder  of  the  Barid  Sh4hi

Je/ga£^  is  302  ho8 ;  its  breadth  from  Jal6r  to  the  post  o!  Damarfi  260  kosy  and 
from  Edaf^  to  Kambhdyat  (Cambay)  70  kos.  On  the  east  lies  Khdndes ; 
to  the  north  Jalor  and  Ed(vr ;  to  the  south,  the  port  of  Daman  and 
Kambhajat,  and  on  the  west,  Jagat  which  is  on  the  seashore.  Mountains  rise 
towards  the  south.  Is  is  watered  by  noble  rivers.  Besides  the  ooean,  there 
ore  the  Sdbarmatti  (Savamamati),  the  BatraJc,  the  Mahendri^  the  Nar* 
laddhy  the  Tapti^  the  Sa^aswoH,  and  two  springs  called  Oangah  and  Jamnah. 
The  climate  is  temperate  and  turning  the  sandy  character  of  the  soil  pre- 
vents it  from  turning  into  mud  in  the  rainy  season.  The  staple  crops  are 
Jowariy  and  Bdjrahy^  which  form  the  principal  food  of  the  people.  The  spring 
iiarvest  is  inconsiderable.  Wheat  and  some  food  grains^  are  imported  from 
Udltoah  and  Ajmer,  and  rice  from  the  Deccan.  Assessment  is  chiefly  by 
nloation  of  crops,  survey  being  seldom  resorted  to.  The  prickly  pear  is 
planted  round  fields  and  about  gardens  and  makes  a  goodly  fence,  for  this 
reason  the  country  is  difficult  to  traverse.  From  the  numerous  groves  of 
mango  and  other  trees  it  may  be  said  to  resemble  a  garden.  From  Pattan^  to 
Barodah  which  is  a  distance  of  a  100  koa,  groves  of  mango  yield  ripe  and 
sweet  fruit.  Some  kinds  are  sweet  even  when  unripe.  Fine  figs  grow 
here  and  musk-melons  are  delicious  in  flavour  both  in  snmmer  and  winter, 
and  are  abundant  during  two  months  in  both  seasons.  The  grapes  are 
only  moderate  in  quantity :  flowers  and  fruit  in  great  plenty.  From  the 
thick  growth  of  forest  sport  is  not  satisfactory.  Leopards^  abound  in 
the  wilds. 

The  roofs  of  houses  are  usually  of  tiles  and  the  walls  of  burnt  brick 
and  lime.  Some  prudently  prepare  the  foundations  of  stone,  and  of  consider- 
able breadth,  while  the  walls  have  hollow  spaces  between,  to  which  they 
kave  secret  access.     The  usual  vehicles  are  two-wheeled  drawn  by  two

necessity  arises.     Fine  fruits  abound. 

SurcU  is  a  celebrated  port.  The  river  Tapti  runs  by  it  and  at  a  dis-

Parganahs  of  the  Timh^  tribe. 

Not  assigned  in  any  of  the  MSS. 

The  first  district  known  as  New  Sorafh  had  remained  unexplored  on 
account  of  the  impenetrable  natare  of  the  forests  and  the  intricate  windings 
o!  the  mountains.  A  reclnse  by  chance  foand  his  wa^  into  it  and  through 
him  a  knowledge  of  it  was  gained.  Here  is  the  celebrated  stone  fortress  of 
Mnahgafh  which  Sul^in  M&l^mdd,^  T,  captured  by  force  of  arms  and  at 
the  foot  of  it  built  another  fort  of  stone.  At  a  distance  of  8  kos  is  the  fort  of 
Osam^  on  the  summit  of  a  hill ;  it  has  now  fallen  into  decay,  but  is  worthy  of 
restoration.  There  is  also  another  stronghold  on  the  summit  of  the  hill 
of  Qimdl  in  which  are  many  springs,  a  place  of  worship  of  the  Jains. 
Adjacent  is  the  port  of  Kondi  KoUydt^  which  derives  its  name  from  two 
villages  at  a  distance  of  one  kos  from  it.  In  the  rear  of  Junahgafh  is 
&&  island  called  Sidlkokah^  4  kos  in  length  by  4  in  breadth,  adjacent 
to  which  is  a  forest,'  3  kos  square,  where  wild  fruits  grow  and  where 
there  is  a  settlement  of  Kolis.  This  tract  is  called  Oir.  Near  the 
▼illage  of  TunkdgSsha^^  the  river  Bhddar  falls  into  ocean.  Its  fish  are  so 
delicate  that  they  melt  when  exposed  to  the  sun.  Good  camels  are  here  ob- 
tainable and  a  breed  of  horses  somewhat  larger  than  the  Ouf  (Gdnth).''' 

In  the  second  district  is  Pat  tan,  a  city  on  the  seashore  possessing  a 
rtone  fort.  This  they  call  PcUtan  Somndtk.  It  is  both  a  capacious  harbour

J6nahgarh,  Vol.  I,  p.  606,  n.  According 
to  T.  Junahgaph  signifies  the  ancient 
fort,  because  it  was  long  concealed  in 
the  dense  forest  and  discovered  by  a 
wood  cntter.  The  legend  mns  that 
1600  years  elapsed  from  its  discovery  to 
the  time  of  Mindalik  from  whom  Mii|^-

JBMl  ka  TirathS  (or  the  shrine  of  the  Arrow).  In  this  place  an  arrow 
struck  Sri  Eashn  and  buried  itself  under  a  pipal  tree  on  the  banks  of  the 
SarsuH.  This  they  call  Ptpal  sir,  and  both  these  spots  are  held  in  great 
veneration.  An  extraordinary  event  occurs  at  the  town  of  Mul  Mahadeo 
where  there  is  a  temple  dedicated  to  S^iva.  Every  year  on  a  certain  daj 
before  the  rainy  season,  a  bird  called  Mukifi  appears.  It  is  somewhat 
smaller  than  pigeon,  with  a  coarser  beak  and  pied  in  colour.     It  alights 


teonsly  given  me  the  benefit  of  his  local 
knowledge.  The  new  temple  and  the 
mins  of  the  old  are  within  the  fort 
which  was  inhabited  chiefly  by  the 
attendants  of  the  shrine,  the  population 
liring  in  the  environs  forming  the  town. 
Pattan  is  said  to  have  had  three  walls 
and  hence  named  Trigadhi,  The  length 
of  the  present  walls  covers  nearly  two 
miles.  The  fort  had  or  has  10  towers  or 
bastions  of  which  8  are  existing  and  two 
are  in  rains. 

*  The  I.  G.  gives  Mangrol.  The  text, 
unites  Din  and  Pnrbandar  (elsewhere 
Porbandar)  in  one  name,  as  Somnith  is 
called  Deo  Pattan,  bnt  it  is  probable 
that  the  port  of  Din  was  intended  by 
Abnl  Fazl. 

*  This  river  rises  in  Monnt  Aba  and 
enters  the  Rnnn  of  Catch,  though  a  part 
of  its  course  near  Sidhpur  and  Patau 
towns,  is  said  to  be  subterranean.  If 
the  sacred  river  of  the  Punjab  that  rises 
in  the  Sirmur  hills  be  intended,  this 
stream  after  its  junction  with  the  Ghag- 
gar,  is  said  in  ancient  times  to  have  flow- 
ed through   BAjputana  into  the  Indus. 


Its  reputation  as  the  Arethusa  of  the 
Hindus,  will  account  for  its  appeanooe

it.

the  56  tribes  of  the  Tadu  race  on  the 
field  of  Kurukshetra  and  the  death  of 
Duryodhana,  in  grief  at  the  loss  of  bo 
many  kinsmen,  placed  Parikshita  on  the 
throne  of  Indraprastha,  and  retired  with 
Krishna  and  Baldeo  to  Dwarka.  They 
were  attacked  by  the  Bhils  and  Krishna 
was  slain.  Baldeo  founded  the  city  of 
Patalibotra  or  Patna.

he  has  misunderstood.  The  name  how- 
ever, is  of  minor  importance ;  the  loss 
of  the  species  must  to  the  naturalist, 
be  a  regret,  to  the  meteorological  De- 
partment, a  calamity.  See  Bayley,  p*

The  chief  of  this  country  is  of  the  YadiA  race  and  his  tribe  is  now

50,000  infantry.  The  men  are  handsome,  tall  in  statnre  and  wear  long

out  of  the  country,  and  settled  in  86rath  between  the  territories  of  the 
Jaitwahf  Bddhel,  Chdran^  and  Tumhel  tribes.  He  possessed  himself  of 
other  parts  and  foanded  the  city  of  Natsanagar  and  his  country  received 
the  name  of  Little  Outch.  Sattarsdl  the  present  R4jah,  is  his  grandson. 
There  are  many  towns  and  the  agricultural  area  is  extensive.  The  resi* 
dence  of  the  chief  is  at  Nawanagar  and  his  force  consists  of  7,000  cavalry 
and  8,000  infantry.  The  camels  and  goats  are  of  good  breeds.  For  a

said   that  he  long  deliberated  regarding   the  site  of  his  capital  and  was 
diligent  in  search  of  a  suitable  place.     A  cowherd  called  Anhil  informed 
him  that  he  knew  an  excellent  site  which  he  would  show  on  condition  that 
the  king  would  call  the  city  after  his  name.     His  ofEer  being  accepted,  he 
directed  them  to  a  wooded  spot  where  a  hare,  he  narrated,  had  grappled 
with  a  dog  and  by  sheer  strength  of  limb  had  got  away.     The  Baji 
founded  the  city  there  and  named  it  Anhilptir.     Astrologers  have  predicted 
that  after  the  lapse  of  2,500  years,  7  months,  9  days,  and  44  gharis,  it 
shall  be  in  ruins.     Through  the  corruption  of  language  and  syllabic  change 
it  came  to  be  called  Nahrwdlab,  but  as  in  the  tongue  of  that  coantrf

name. 

H&J&  Samant  Singh  gave  his  daughter  in  marriage  to  Sri  Dan^ak 
Solanki,  a  descendant  of  the  Delhi  princes.  She  died  when  on  the  point  of 
giving  birth,  but  a  son  was  by  a  surgical  operation  taken  from  her  womb. 
The  moon  at  the  time  was  in  the  sixteenth'  mansion  termed  by  the  Hind^ 
Mul,  and  hence  he  was  named  Mulr&j.  Raja  Sdmant  Singh  adopted  him 
as  his  own  son  and  watched  over  his  education.  When  he  grew  up,  he 
entered  into  a  conspiracy  with  some  evil-disposed  persons.  The  RAja  in 
a  fit  of  drunkenness  abdicated  in  bis  favour^  but  on  becoming  sober  re- 
called his  promise  which  so  infuriated  this  miscreant  that  he  slew  his  bene- 
factor and  assumed  the  sovereignty.     During  the  reign  of  Bajd  Chamand

A.  H.  416  or  1064  of  the  era  of  Bikram&jit,^  Bn\\ikn  Mahmlid  of  Ghazni 
conquered  this  ooantrj,  but  on  leaving,  he  found  no  fitfcer  person  on  whom 
be  might  confer  the  government  than  a  descendant  of  the  royal  line,  and 
having  arranged  for  the  annual  payment  of  a  tribute,  he  returned  by  way 
of  Sind.  What  is  remarkable  is  that  at  the  desire  of  this  prince  he 
carried  with  him  captive  another  scion  of  the  same  family.  After  a  time, 
eith^  through  fear  or  foresight,  the  captive's  restoration  was  solicited  by 
the  same  prince  who  went  out  to  meet  him  as  he  approached  his  territory 
in  order  that  intriguers  might  not  secure  his  favour.  On  the  day  that 
they  were  to  meet,  the  R4j4  fell  asleep  for  a  short  space  under  a  tree, 
when  an  animal  of  prey  tore  out  an  eye.  At  ihat  time  a  blind  man  being 
incapacitated  from  reigning,  the  ungrateful  soldiers  substituted  the  cap- 
tive prince  in  his  place  and  placed  the  Rajd  in  confinement.' 

Kumirp&l  Solanki  through  fear  of  his  life  lived  in  retirement,  but 
when  the  measure  of  Jai  Singh's  days  became  full,  he  came  forth  from 
the  wastes  of  disappointed  ambition  and  seated  himself  on  the  throne 
and  considerably  enlarged  his  dominions.  Ajaipil  wickedly  poisoned 
his  sovereign  and  for  a  fleeting  gratification  has  acquired  eternal  abhor- 
rence. 

Lakhmdl  having  no  issue,  the  worthiest  representative  of  the  Bagh61ah 
tribe  was  chosen  as  sovereign. 

During  the  reign  of  Elaran,  the  troops  of  Sulfdn  J^\i  u'd  din  overran 
Gujarat.  Karan,  defeated  in  the  field,  fled  to  the  Deccan.  Although 
previous  to  this  time  Muizz  u'd  din  S&m^  and  Kutb  u'd  din  Eibak  had 
made  expeditions  into  the  country,  it  was  not  until  the  reign  of  A1&  u'd  din 
that  it  was  formally  annexed  to  Delhi. 

In  the  reign  of  Mul^mmad,  son  of  Firdz  Sh^h,  Niz^m  Mustakhr^j, 
called  also  B4sti  Khdn,*  was  appointed  to  the  government  of  Gujarat,  but

set  out  from  Ghazoi  in  his  expedition 
against  Somnith,  which  Ferishta  says 
oocnined  2^  years,  but  from  his  own

been  a  descendant  of  D&bishlim  well

by  this  name.  The  story  is  related  at

his  injustice  beooming  oppressive,  he  was  ranored  and  the  Ticerojalty 
was  conleiTed  on  Zafar  Khiu  son  of  Wajih  nl  Mnlk  Tink.  The  former 
governor  disloyally  rebelling,  was  killed  in  the  field.  The  events  of  this 
time  may  be  gathered  from  the  history  of  the  Delhi  sovereigns.  His 
son  Tatar  Khin  was  a  man  of  base  character  and  in  whom  wicked- 
ness was  ingrained.  At  this  period  after  the  death  of  Sultan  Mo^m- 
mad  when  the  throne  of  Delhi  devolved  on  Snlfin  Mahmlid,  oonsider- 
able  anarchy  prevailed.  Zafar  Kh&n  withdrew  from  affairs  and  TMr 
Kh&i  assumed  royal  state  and  marched  against  Delhi,  bat  was  poison- 
ed at  the  instigation  of  his  father^  who  coming  forth  from  his  re- 
tirement had  the  Kkufhah  read  and  the  coin  straok  in  his  own  name, 
and  was  proclaimed  under  the  title  of  Sult&n  Mussaffar.*  Oujar&t  thus 
became  an  independent  kingdom  and  the  government  of  the  proviaoe 
was  established  in  the  Tdaik  family.  The  father  of  Zafar,  Wajih  nl 
Hulk  had  been  a  Brahman  and  was  converted  to  Isl&m.  Abmad  the 
son  of  Tat&r  Khan  conspired  against  the  life  of  his  grandfather  and  took 
possession  of  the  throne  thus  garnering  eternal  perdition.  Al^madiMid 
was  founded  by  him.  With  deep  design  and  meditated  hypoorisy  he  wiUi- 
drew  himself  from  all  worldly  pageantries  till  at  a  festival  when  all 
suspicion  was  laid  asleep  in  the  midst  of  universal  enjoyment,  he  put 
to  death  twelve  of  his  uncles.  Subsequently  he  applied  himself  wiih 
earnestness  to  the  duties  of  his  government  and  was  filled  with  continaal 
remorse,  and  to  his  last  breath  set  himself  to  a  just  and  capable  adminis* 
tration  of  the  state. 

When  Ditid  Kh&n^  was  deposed  on  account  of  his  incapacity,  Fat^

mmt^  and  by  hk  jusiioe,  and  ^rt  himself  with  the  fenoe  of  mniiifioenoe 
and  iiberaUty.  Mi^k  Sh^^b&a  who  held  the  title  of  Imid  n'l  Malk  was 
of  the  utmost  service  to  him.*  In  the  beginniag  of  his  reiga  some  of  the 
wealthy  favourites  conspired  against  the  life  of  their  lord  and  in  the  first 
instance  plotted  •  the  overthrow  of  this  judioions  and  sincere  oounsellor. 
Like  intrigoers  as  they  were,  they  conveyed  false  allegations  to  the  king, 
and  as  the  worldly-minded  are  suspicions  of  eaoh  other,  he  imprisoned  this 
peerless  denixen  of  the  world  of  faith  and  purposed  putting  him  to  death. 
He  was  on  the  point  of  being  condemned  when  Malik  j^bdu'llah  the 
superintendent  of  the  elephuits  who  had  the  royal  ear,  revealed  the 
innocence  of  his  faithful  minister  and  the  designs  of  the  conspirators.  The 
king  skilfully  contrived  his  escape  and,  the  veil  of  their  pretence  being 
rent  asunder,  the  miscreants  took  to  arms.  The  royal  guard  and  the  slaves 
together  with  the  officers  in  charge  of  the  elephants  made  a  stand  against 
them,  and  the  elephant)  themselves  proved  of  service  in  chastising  the 
rebels.  Disgracefully  routed,  these  disloyal  subjects  met  with  just  retri- 
bution. At  Mal^iid's  death,  his  son  MuzafEar  Sh&b,  with  the  assistance 
of  the  nobles,  ascended  the  throne  and  assumed  the  title  of  Sul^n  Muza^Mr 
(11).  His  reign  was  beneficent.  Sh4h  Ismail  of  the  Sdfi  dynasty  of  Persia 
sent  him  as  presents  the  choicest  goods  of  Ir&k.^  and  he  in  turn  courteously 
reciprocated  his  acknowledgments.  On  his  decease,  his  son  succeeded  him 
under  the  title  of  Snlfan  Sikandar.  In  a  short  time  he  was  wickedly  done 
to  death  by  Imad  a'l  Mulk  who  raised  his  brother  Na^ir  Kh4n  to  the 
throne.  The  nobles  plotted  to  displace  him.  The  king  appealed  for 
succour  to  His  Majesty  B&ber  and  engaged  to  surrender  to  him  the  port  of  Dih 
<Din)  with  its  dependencies  and  several  kr&rs  of  tankahs,  if  he  would  advance 
in  aid  with  his  victorious  troops.  On  account  of  his  former  ungrateful  con- 
duct, his  offer  was  refused.*    At  this  juncture,  Bdhadur  the  son  of  Salfdu

Muzaffar  came  from  Delhi  at  the  invitation  of  the  BiLbriyas^  and  the  nobles 
joined  his  standard.  During  his  father's  reign  he  was  unable  to  remain 
at  court  through  the  envy  borne  towards  him  by  his  brother  (Sikandar) 
He,  therefore,  betook  himself  to  Sul^in  Ibrahim  Lodi  at  Delhi  and  was 
received  with  favour.  The  nobles  of  Jaunp6r  invited  him  to  be  their 
king,  and  his  intentions  were  inclined  that  way,  when  at  this  time  his 
partisans  wrote  to  him  from  Gujarat  and  entreated  his  acceptance  of  the 
throne.  He  willingly  set  out  for  the  capital  and  being  successful,  he 
made  his  administration  prosperous  by  his  justice  and  liberality.  Carried 
away  by  the  intoxication  of  worldly  success,  he  imprudently  engaged 
in  a  war  with  Humaytin,  and  being  defeated,  sullenly  withdrew  in 
discomfiture.* 

At  his  death,  Mir&n  Muhammad  ruler  of  Kh4ndesh,  his  nephew,  wbom 
during  his  lifetime  he  had  constituted  his  heir,  was  in  his  absence  pro- 
claimed  in  the  khutbah  by  the  nobles,  but  died  shortly  before  re^hing 
Gujarat.  Mal^mud,  grandson  of  Sulfdn  MuzafiEar,  who  was  then  in  con- 
finement, succeeded  him.  A  miscreant  called  Burh^n  with  some  of  his 
adherents  put  him  to  death^  and  under  pretence  of  establishing  a  rightful

rightly  in  enforcing  the  law  of  retalia- 
tion by  pntting  to  death  }mid  n'l  Malk 
who  had  strangled  his  brother  Sikandar, 
bat  besides  this,  he  slew  a  nnmber  of 
his  father's  Amfrs  and  gave  proof  of  a 
blood-thirsty  and  ungovernable  nature. 

8  Bayley,  p.  446,  et  seq.  Burhin  who 
had  been  a  low  favourite  of  the  king, 
poisoned  and  stabbed  his  master  and 
sallied  forth  from  the  palace  in  the  pomp 
of  royalty  when  he  was  met  and  slain  by 
Shirw&n  Khin  Bhatti,  adopted  son  of 
Af  zal  one  of  the  murdered  nobles.  Feri- 
shta's  account  is  that  on  the  death  of  the 
king  becoming  known,  ftimid  Kh&n  with 
Ghang(z  Khan,  Ulug  Kh&n,  I^bshi  and 
others,  came  out  to  oppose  him.  Bur- 
h&n  was  thrown  at  the  first  charge  and 
killed  by  Shirwdn  Khin.  His  feet  were 
tied  to  a  rope    and  he   was   dragged 


through  the  city.  The  Mirat-i'Sihandari 
g^ves  the  name  of  Basi  u'l  Hulk  to  one 
of  the  nobles  who  was  sent  to  bring  the 
new  king,  A^ad,  to  the  capital,  but 
Ferishta  expressly  states  that  this  de- 
scendant of  Al^mad  Shih  was  nam- 
ed Bazf  u'l  Hulk  and  was  raised  to 
the  throne  as  A^^mad  Shih  II.  He  oon- 
tinues,  that  disg^ted  with  his  nominal 
sovereignty,  after  a  5  years'  tutelage  he 
took  refuge  with  Mirin  Mub&rak  Shih

death  in  the  field,  an  aooommodationwis 
ag^in  effected  with  ftimid  Khin,  bat 
having  expressed  himself  too  openly  as 
desirous  of  the  death  of  that  minister, 
he  himself  was  found  dead  the  next  day, 
near  the  river  opposite  the  house  of 
Wajih  u'l  Mulk  and  it  was  g^venout 
that,  caught  in  a  love  intrigue  in  that 
nobleman's  house,  he  had  been  unwit-

himself  on  the  occasion,  and  next  morning  collecting  his  followers,  attacked

Hulk  by  name  a  descendant  of  Sultan  Ahmad,  I,  under  the  title  of  Saltan 
Ahmad  (II)  as  a  nominal  sovereign  and  took  the  government  into  his  own 
hands.  But  when  the  boy  grew  to  manhood,  he  altered  his  purpose  and 
oarryiog  him  to  the  house  of  one  of  his  adherents>  he  slew  him  and  then 
leading  some  unknown  minor  by  the  hand,  swore  upon  oath  that  he  was 
the  son  of  the  last  SulfiLn  MaJl^mlid  (II).  By  fraudful  allegations,  he  be- 
stowed on  him  the  sovereign  authority  and  giving  him  the  title  of  Sul^dn 
MozafEar,  he  himself  assumed  the  reins  of  power,  until  his  present  Majesty 
tiirew  the  shadow  of  justice  over  the  province  and  annexed  this  pro* 
sperous  country  to  the  imperial  dominions.

mine.  In  Ohainpur  and  other  dependencies  of  Mdn4al  are  eopper  minss, 
which  are  extremely  profitable. 

The  chief  of  the  state  was  formerly  called  Bdwal,  bat  for  a  long  time 
past  has  been  known  as  BdndJ^  He  is  of  the  G  helot  clan  and  pretends  a 
descent  from  Noshirwin  the  Jnst.^  An  ancestor  of  this  family  through 
the  vicissitades  of  fortune  came  to  Bedur  and  was  distinguished  as  the 
chief  of  Namdlah.^  About  eight  hundred  years  previous  to  the  present 
time,  Namdlah  was  taken  by  an  enemy  and  many  were  slain.  One  BSfo, 
a  child,  was  carried  by  his  mother  from  this  scene  of  desolation  to  Mewdr, 
and  found  refuge  with  Bdjah  MandaltkhP  a  BML  When  he  grew  up  to 
man's  estate  he  followed  the  pursuit  of  a  shepherd  and  was  devoted  to 
hunting  in  which  his  daring  was  so  conspicuous  that  he  became  in  favour 
with  the  lUja  and  a  trusted  minister  of  state.  On  the  death  of  the 
Bdj4,  his  four  nephews  disputed  the  succession,  but  they  eventually 
decided  to  resign  their  pretensions  in  favour  of  Bdpa  and  to  acknowledge 
his  authority.  Bdpc^  however,  declined  their  offer.  It  happened  one 
day  that  the  finger  of  one  the  these  four  brothers  began  to  bleed,  and  he 
drew  with  the  blood  the  ceremonial  mark  of  installation  on  the  forehead 
of  B^&,  and  the  others  also  concurred  in  accepting  his  elevation.  He  then 
assumed  the  sovereignty.     To  this  day  the  castom  continues  of  making

On  a  former  occasion  while  passing  throngh  the  wilds,  mistaking  one 
Saranfy^  a  hermit,  for  a  wild  animal,  he  fitted  an  arrow  to  his  bow.  The 
hermit  intnitiFely  prescient  of  this  action  throngh  his  pnrity  of  heart, 
made  himself  known,  and  the  IU3A  repentantly  ezcnsed  himself  and 
hnmblj  visited  him  with  assiduity.  The  hermit  one  day  predicted  his 
elevation,  and  marvellons  tales  are  told  regarding  him.  Having  made  his 
head  qnartera  at  Sesoddf  the  tribe  is  called  Setodiah  and  as  a  Bdihman, 
at  the  beginning  of  their  history  nurtured  their  house,  they  are  accounted 
8s  belonging  to  this  caste. 

When  Bdtffal  Battan  Si^  died,  a  relative  named  Arn  was  raised  to  the 
throne  and  entitled  RinA  from  whom  the  present  Bdna  JJm/rd  is  tenth  in

Ancient  chroniclers  record  that  Sultan  A1&  ud'  din  Khilji  king  of 
Delhi  had  heard  that  B6u>al  Rattan  8i  prince  of  Metodr  possessed  a  most 
beautiful  wife.  He  sent  to  demand  her  and  was  refused,  upon  which  be 
led  an  army  to  enforce  compliance  and  laid  siege  to  Okitor,  After  a  long 
persistenoe  in  beleaguering  the  place  in  vain,  he  had  recourse  to  artifice 
and  proposed  terms  of  peace  and  friendship.  The  BAji  readily  acquiesced 
and  invited  him  to  an  entertainment.  The  Sultan  entered  the  fort  with 
kis  chosen  followers  and  the  meeting  took  plaoe  amid  festivi^  and  mirth, 
and  finding  his  opportunity  he  seised  the  R6j4  and  carried  him  off.  It 
is  said  that  the  Sultan's  retinue  consisted  of  a  hundred  men  and  800  picked 
soldiers  dressed  as  attendants.  Before  the  R4ja's  troops  could  assemble 
he  was  hurried  away  to  the  camp  amidst  the  wailing  of  his  people.  The 
king  kept  the  B4j4  in  close  confinement  with  a  view  to  extort  compliance 
with  his  desire.  The  faithful  ministers  of  the  RAji  implored  the  king 
Bot  to  injure  him  and  promised  to  deliver  up  to  him  not  only  the  object  of 
his  love  but  other  suitable  partners  for  his  harem.  They  also  sent  a  forged 
letter  purporting  to  come  from  the  virtuons  queen  and  lulled  his  suspi- 
cions to  sleep.  The  king  was  delighted  and  not  only  refrained  from 
perBonal  violence  but  treated  the  B4j&  with  cordiality.  It  is  related 
that  700  of  the  choicest  troops  dressed  as  women  were  placed  in 
litters  and  set  out  for  the  king's  camp  and  it  was  given  out  that  the  BAxd 
with  a  large  number  of  her  attendants  was  on  the  way  to  the  royal  pavi-

lion.  When  they  approached  the  camp,  word  was  sent  that  the  Bini 
wished  to  have  an  interview  with  the  Raji  previouB  to  entering  the 
king's  quarters.  Lapped  in  his  illusive  dream  of  security  the  king  granted 
the  interview,  during  which  the  soldiers  seizing  the  opportunity,  threw  o£E 
their  disguise  and  bore  off  their  prince.  Time  after  time  the  Rijpdte  stood 
to  face  their  pursuers  fighting  manfully  and  many  were  slain  before  the 
Raj&  had  gone  &r.  At  length  the  Chauh^ns,  Oaurd  and  Bddal  made 
a  stand  fighting  to  the  death  enabling  the  B4wal  to  reach  Chitor  in  safety 
amidst  universal  acclamation.  The  king  having  endured  great  hardships 
during  the  siege  and  finding  it  to  no  purpose,  returned  to  Delhi.  After 
an  interval,  he  set  his  heart  again  on  the  same  project  but  returned  dis- 
comfited. The  B&wal  wearied  with  these  assaults,  conceived  that  an 
interview  with  the  king  might  result  in  an  alliance  and  that  he  would 
thus  escape  this  state  of  continual  strife.  GTuided  by  a  traitor  he  met  the 
king  at  a  place  7  ko8  from  Ohttor  where  he  was  basely  slain.  His  relative 
Arsiy  after  this  fatal  event,  was  raised  to  the  throne.  The  Sultan  returned 
to  the  seige  of  Chttor  and  captured  it.  The  IUj4  was  slain  fighting  and 
all  the  women  voluntarily  perished  by  fire.

Muhammad  Khuni^  made  over  the  government  of  Ghitor  to  M&ldeva  Chau- 
hin  ruler  of  Jalor.  As  this  prince  was  unable  to  bring  the  province  into 
order,  he  summoned  flamirf  made  him  his  son-in-law,  and  through  his 
means  restored  its  prosperity.  At  his  death,  Hamir  made  away  with  his 
sons  and  raised  the  standard  of  independence.* 

The  present  local  militia  consists  of  16,000  cavalry  and  40,000  infan- 
try, but  Mew4r  formerly  controlled  much  more  extensive  territories,  so 
much  so  that  R4jah  Sanka  (Sanga)  x>0Bsessed  a  force  of  180,000  cavalry 
and  a  numerous  in&uitry.

he  resolved  to  turn  his  arms  against  Jaiohand  king  of  Kanauj.  The  Rijali 
in  his  flight  was  drowned  in  the  Gtuiges.^  His  descendants  fell  into 
obscarity.  His  brother's  son  Slha,*  who  resided  in  Shumsdbdd  was  slain 
with  a  large  number  of  troops.  His  three  sons  Sutik,  Ashwatthama^  and 
if;*  set  out  for  GnjarAt,  and  on  their  way  rested  at  Pdli^  near  Sojhat,  In 
this  city  dwelt  a  number  of  BdLhmans  who  were  much  molested  by  the 
Mtnah  tribe,  some  of  whom  at  this  period  made  a  raid  on  the  town.  The 
exiles  came  out,  attacked  them  valorously,  and  put  them  to  flight.  The 
Brihmans  gave  them  great  honour  and  treated  them  with  every  considera- 
tion and  thus  alleviated  in  some  degree  their  distress  of  heart.  As  they 
acquired  the  means  of  worldly  success  they  grew  bolder  and  seized  Kh&r^ 
from  the  Qohel  tribe  and  thus  advanced  their  condition.  Butdc  indepen- 
dently wrested  Eda/r  from  the  Minahs,  and  Aj  setting  out  for  Bagldnah^ 
took  that  district  by  force  from  the  KolU.  From  that  time  their  descen- 
dants have  inhabited  the  country.  The  descendants  of  Ashwatthamd  who 
remained  in  Mdrwdr  gradually  gained  credit  till  eventually  Maldeva  his  six- 
teenth descendant  waxed  so  powerful,  that  Sh6r  Kh^  nearly  lost  his  life 
in  his  campaign  against  him.^

Subah  of  Dehli,  (Delhi). 

Tt  is  in  the  third  climate.  Its  length  from  Palwal^  to  Ludhiandh  on 
the  banks  of  the  Satl^  is  165  kos.  Its  breadth  from  the  Sarkdr  of  Rewdri 
to  the  Kum&on  hills  is  140  hos,  and  again  from  Hisdr  to  Khizrdbdd  is  130 
kos.  On  the  east  lies^  the  capital,  Agra :  on  the  north-east  it  marches 
with  Khairdhdd  in  the  Sdhah  of  Oudh :  to  the  north  are  monntains :  on 
the  south  the  Suhahs  of  Agra  and  Ajmer :  on  the  west  is  Ludhidnah.  The 
chief  rivers  are  the  Ganges  and  the  Jumna,  and  both  these  take  their  rise 
in  this  Sdhah,  There  are  besides  nnmerons  other  streams,  amongst  thera 
the  Ohaghar.  The  monntains  prinoipally  to  the  north.  The  climate  is 
nearly  temperate.  Much  of  the  land  is  sabject  to  inundation  and  in  some 
places  there  are  three  harvests.  The  fruits  of  Irin,  Tiir4n  and  Hindustan 
are  here  grown  and  abundant  flowers  of  various  kinds.  Lofty  buildings 
of  stone  and  brick  delight  the  eye  and  gladden  the  heart,  and  it  is  scaron 
equalled  for  the  choice  productions  of  every  clime.

consider  it   as  in  the   second   climate,  making  the  soathom  mountaiootM 
system  begin  from  this  region  they  are  certainly  mistaken  as  the  latitude 
shows.     Sultans  Kufhu'ddin  (1,206-10),  and  Shamsu'ddm  (Altmish,   1210- 
35)  resided  in  the  citadel  of  Rajah  Pithwra  (Prithwi).    Sultan  GMydsud(Un 
Bdban  erected   another  fort,   intending  it  as  a  (royal)  cemetery.     He  also 
built  a  handsome  edifice  in  which  if  any  criminal  took   sanctuary,    he   was 
absolyed  from   retribution.     Muiaz  u'd  din   Kai  Kubdd  (12[86-9)  founded 
another  city  on  the  banks  of  the  Jumna  called  Kilukhari,     Amir  Khusrau 
in  his  poem  the  "  Kirdnu's  S^dain^ ''   eulogises  this  city   and  its   palace. 
It  is  now  the  last  resting-place   of  Humdytin  where  a   new  and   splendid 
monument  has   been  erected.     Sultan  4^   t^'^  <^^^  (1295 — 1316)  founded 
another  city  and  fort  called  Siri.     TugJUakdbdd  is   a   memorial   of  Tughlak 
Shah   (1321—24).     His   son  Muhammad  (1324—51)  founded  another  city

There  is  game  in  plenty  in  the  Sarkdr  of  Sambal  (Sambhal),  where 
the  rhinoceros  is  found.  ^  It  is  an  animal  like  a  small  elephant,  without  a 
trcmk,  and  having  a  horn  on  its  snout  with  which  it  attacks  animals. 
From  its  skin,  shields  are  made  and  from  the  horn,  finger-guards  for  bow- 
strings string  and  the  like.  In  the  city  of  Sambal  is  a  temple  called  Hart

peculiarity  of  which  is  undoubtedly  due  to  a  sulphur  mine. 

Hi^dr  (Hissar)  was  founded  by  Sultan  Firdz  who  brought  the  waters 
of  the  Jwnna  to  it  by  means  of  a  cutting.  A  holy  devotee  predicted  his 
accession  to  the  throne  and  at  his  request  the  canal  was  made.  Strange  to 
say,  it  enters  a  pool  named  Bhcidrd  near  the  town  of  Sirsdy  and  there  loses 
itself.  Wonderful  stories  are  related  regarding  it.  There  are  few  rivers 
in  this  district,  and  wells  have  to  be  dug  a  considerable  depth. 

Sahrind^  (Sirhind)  is  a  city  of  note.  Here  are  the  gardens  of  Hdfix

Thanesar  is  accounted  one  of  the  most  sacred  places  of  pilgrimage. 
The  SarcuwaH  flows  near  it  for  which  the  Hindus  have  great  venera-

parts  come  to  visit  and  where  they  bathe,  and  bestow  charitable  offerings.

This  was  the  scene  of  the  war  of  the  Mahihhdrat  which  took  place  in  the 
latter  end  of  the  Dtodpar  Yug. 

In  the  city  of  Hasiinapur  reigned  Bdjd  Bharata  who  by  his  jnstice 
and  consideration  for  his  people  gathered  a  fitting  reward  of  happiness, 
and  his  virtues  and  good  deeds  confirmed  for  a  long  period  the  succession 
in  his  family,  and  fortune  favoured  son  af t«r  son.  The  eighth  in  lineal 
descent  from  him  was  JRdjd  Kur  from  whom  Kuru-Kshetra  received  its 
appellation.  After  six  intermediate  progenitors,  an  heir  was  bom  named 
Vichitravirya,^  who  had  two  sons,  one  of  whom  was  Dhritardshtra.  He  was 
the  father  of  101  children,  the  eldest  of  whom  was  Bdjd  Duryodhana,  and  they 
are  called  the  Kauravas,  The  other  was  Pandu,  Although  the  first  men- 
tioned was  the  elder  son  yet  on  account  of  his  blindness,  the  succession 
fell  to  his  brother  who  obtained  the  sovereignty.  His  sons  are  called  the 
Pdndavas,  There  were  five,  namely,  Yudishtira,  Bhtmsena^  Arjuna,  Nakula 
and  Sahadeva,  On  Pandu^s  death  the  kingdom  reverted  to  Dhritarashtra, 
but  although  the  nominal  sovereignty  was  his,  the  real  power  was  possess- 
ed by  Duryodhana.  Since  to  crush  their  enemies  is  the  way  of  the  princes 
of  the  earth,  Duryodhana  was  ever  in  fear  of  the  Pandavas  and  sought  their 
destruction.  When  Dhritardshtra  observed  the  growing  feud,  he  resolved 
to  establish  his  nephews  in  the  city  of  Yiranavatra,  and  sent  skilled  artisans 
with  instructions  to  build  their  residences.  The  workmen  at  the  instiga- 
tion of  Duryodhana  constructed  a  secret  chamber  of  lac  and  pitch,  in  order 
that  at  a  fitting  opportunity  the  Pandavas  might  be  destroyed  in  a  flaming 
conflagration.  But  whom  the  Lord  defends  by  his  protection,  what  avails 
against  him  the  striving  of  the  impotent  ?  When  the  Pandavas  accepting 
their  exile,  settled  in  this  spot,  they  became  aware  of  the  design.  By 
chance  a  woman  with  five  sons  dwelt  hard  by.  The  Pandavas  set  the  house 
on  fire  and  set  out  for  the  wilds  with  their  mother,  while  their  neighbours 
were  consumed  in  the  flames. 

Duryodhana  believing  that  the  Pandavas  were  destroyed,  held  a  festival 
of  rejoicing.  The  Pandavas  after  many  adventures  came  forth  from  the 
wilds  to  the  inhabited  country  and  settled  in  the  city  of  Bampild,  In  a 
short  time,  the  fame  of  their  valour,  skill  and  open-handed  munificence 
filled  the  world,  but  none  knew  their  name  or  lineage,  till  Duryodhana 
himself  awaking  from  his  dream  of  security  suspected  that  the  burning  of 
the  Pandavas    was  a   fable.     After  prosecuting   inquiries,  his   suspicions 


an  eclipse,   are  mentioned  by  Albirdni 
in  bis  India.

were  confirmed,  upon  which  he  had  recourse  to  eDtreaty,  and  recalled  them 
with  protestations  of  friendship,  hoping  thus  to   secure  his  aim.     He  be- 
stowed Delhi  (Indraprastha)  upon  them  with  half  his  kingdom  and  retained 
Easiinapur  with  the  other   half.     Yudishthira  by   his  prudence   and  good 
fortune  aided  by  the  divine  favour  rose  to  greatness  and  his  administra- 
tion advanced  his  power.     The   Kauravtis  flocked  to  his  service,  and  in  a 
short  space  he  acquired   universal  sway.     The  other  brothers  likewise  re- 
daced  many  princes  to  their  obedience.     Duryodhana  was  beside   himself 
at  the  sight  of  their  sovereign  splendour,   and  the  pangs  of  envy  drove 
him  more  distraught.      With  deceptive  intent,  he  held  a  festival  and  invited 
|.he   Pdndavas  and   proposed  a  game   of  chaupar^  playing  himself,  with 
cogged  dice.     By  this  means  he  won  all  they  possessed.    The  laat  stake 
was  made  on  the  condition  that  if  the  Pandavas  won,  they  should  recover 
all  that  they  had  lost,  but  if  otherwise,  they  were  to  quit  the  royal  domi- 
nions and  wander  in  the  wilds  for  twelve  years  in  the   garb  of  mendicants 
after  which  they  might  return  to  civilised  life  for  a  year,  and   so  conduct 
themselves  that  none  should  know  them.     If   this   last  particular  were  in- 
fringed, they  would   have  to   pass  a   similar  period   of  twelve  years  in  the 
forests.     Unsuspecting  foul  pKy,  their  uprightness  brought  them  to  ruin. 
£lated  by  the  success  of  his  device,  Duryodhana  was  lulled  into  the  slumber 
of  a  false  security  while  the  Pandavas  under  the  divine  direction  accompli- 
shed their  part  of  the  agreement.     Duryodhana  now  began  to  treat   them 
with  severity.     Much  altercation  followed  till  the  Pandavas  consented  to  ac- 
cept five  villages  if  peacefully  surrendered    to  them.     Duryodhana  in  his 
pride  refused  and  rose  in  arras.     The  scene  of  the  conflict  was  in  the  vicinity 
of  KurU'kshetra.     But  as  the  end  of  the  fraudful  is   disaster,  Duryodhana^ 
and  his  companions  were  totally  destroyed  and  Yudishthira   was  victorious 
after  eighteen   days  of  successive  engagements. 

Towards  the  close  of  the  Dwdpur  Yug^  135  years  before  the  beginning 
of  the  Kali  Yug,  and  4,831  years  anterior  to  this  the  40th  of  the  Divine 
Era,^  this  event  rose  into  fame  and  was  left  to  posterity  as  a  record  of  por- 
tentous warning. 

It  is  said  that  in  this  mighty  war,  the  army  of  the  Kauravas  consisted 
of  11  achliauhiniy  and  that  of  the  Pandavas  of  7.  An  achhauhini  consists  of 
21,870  men  mounted  on  elephants,  the  same  number  in  chariots,  and  65,610' 
cavalry;  and  109,350  infantry.     Marvellous  to  relate  but  11*  individuals

escaping  with  their  lives  took  refuge  with  Yudkishtiraf  viz.^  Kripdckdra^a 
Br^lhman  who  had  been  preceptor  to  both  families  and  was  renowned  for 
wisdom  and  valour;  Ashwatthimdn  who  was  celebrated  for  the  same 
qualities ;  Kritvarman  Yadu,  a  brave  champion ;  and  Saniaya  who,  together 
with  his  reputation  for  wisdom,  acquired  renown  as  the  charioteer  of 
Dhritardshtra,  On  the  side  of  the  Pandavas,  eight  survived,^  t»V.,  the 
5  brothers ;  Satyaki  Yadu  famous  for  his  bravery  and  sagacity ;  Yuyutsa 
brother  of  Duryodhana  by  another  mother,  and  Krishna.  After  thig 
Tudishtira  reigned  supreme  for  36  years,  and  his  happy  destiny  wad 
virtuous  disposition  discovering  to  him  the  vanity  of  mundane  things,  he 
sought  retirement  and  resolutely  forsook  a  world  that  oppresses  the  weak. 
Together  with  his  brethren  he  chose  the  path  of  renunciation  and  played 
the  last  stake  of  his  life. 

This  great  war  has  been  related  in  the  Mahdbhdrata  with  numerous 
episodes  in  a  hundred  thousand  couplets,  and  has  been  translated  into 
Persian  by  command  of  His  Majesty  under  the  title  of  Bazmndmah 
(History  of  the  War).  It  is  set  forth  in  eighteen  Parbh  or  books.  The 
first  part  is  an  account  of  the  KaiM'avas  and  Pandavas  and  a  list  of  contents.

Fourthy  the  coming  of  the  Pandavas  from  the  wilds  to  the  city  of  Finito  and 
remaining  unknown.  Fifth,  the  Pandavas  discover  themselves ;  the  media- 
tion of  Krishna  and  his  rejection;  the  gathering  at  Kuru-kshetra  and 
disposition  of  the  armies.  Sixth,  the  opening  of  the  combat,  the  wounding 
of  Bhtshma,  the  slaughter  of  many  of  the  sons  of  Dhritardshtra,  and  the 
events  of  the  ten  days*  engagement.  Seventh,  the  council  of  war  held  by 
Duryodhana ;  the  appointment  of  Drona^  to  the  general  command,  his 
death  and  other  events  during  five  days.  Eighth,  description  of  the  two 
days'  battle ;  Duryodhana  names  Kama  to  the  command,  his  exploits — the 
flight  of  Yudishtira  before  him — the  death  of  Kama  at  the  hand  of  Arjuna 
on  the  second  day.  Ninth,  Shalya  is  appointed  general  on  account  of  his 
heroism — his  death — Duryodhana  conceals  himself  in  a  tank — his  end  and 
that  of  many  champions.  Tenth,  the  conclusion  of  the  war,  the  coming  of 
Kritvarmdn,  Ashwatthdmdn,  and  Kripachdraya  to  Duryodhana  on  the  field

'  T.  Sanhata,  G.  Sanyhet. 

'  Sir  H.  Elliot  has  an  interesting  dis- 
ooflsion  on  the  Gaur  Tagas,  an  important 
tribe  of  Brahmincal  descent  in  the  N.-W. 
of  India  extending  over  a  great  part  of 
upper  Bohilkhand,  the  upper  Do&b  and 
the  Delhi  territory.    Mr.  Beames  supple- 


ments his  conclusions  with  a  note  which 
embodies  without  accepting  the  learned 
but  unsafe  deductions  of  General  Cun- 
ningham. Tod's  Bajasthiln  furnishes 
additional  matter  if  not  imformation, 
regarding  the  obscurity  of  their  origin. 
Sherring's  Hindu  Tribes  and  Castes 
should  be  consulted  in  elucidation  of  the 
doubtful  readings  of  the  text,  a  note  on 
each  of  which  would  be  impracticable.

*  This  number  does  not  accord  with 
the  totals.  It  would  be  as  unprofitable 
ms  it  is  hopeless  to  attempt  to  digest  or 
reconcile  the  order,  number  and  lengpth 
of  these  reigns  among  various  authori- 
ties, when  dates  are  unknown  or  con- 
jectural, the  names  of  the  princes  dis- 
puted and  their  existence  xpythioal. 
After  this,  the  minute  exactness  of  their 
duration  of  reigns  would  be  ridiculous 
enooj^h  even  were  not  the  totals  short 
of  the  number  that  heads  the  list,  hy 
about  60   years.     Tiefitenthaler  begins 

38 


the  series  from  Tudishthira,  differing  as 
widely  from  Wilford  and  Tod,  as  they 
do  from  each  other,  and  follows  with 
another  series  from  "  quelques  ecrits 
persans"  at  variance  with  what  has 
preceded,  and  continuing  with  a  farther 
list  of  princes  "  rapport^s  encore  diff^re- 
ment "  from  a  Persian  history.  The  un- 
ravelling of  this  tangle  will  afford  abun- 
dant occapation  to  those  interested  in 
these  details.  I  suspect  that  they  are 
not  many.

In  th«  year  429  of  the  era  of  Bikramijit  (A.  D.  372)  AnangpdP  of  the 
To^war  tribe  reigned  with  jostioe  and  founded  Delhi.  In  the  year  848  of 
the  Bame  lani-solar  era  (A.  D.  791)  in  the  vicinity  of  that  renowned  city, 
a  hotly  contested  battle  was  fought  between  Prithirdj  To^war  and  fiildeTS 
Ghanhdn,  and  the  sovereignty  was  transferred  to  this  latter  tribe.  During 
the  reign  of  R4j&  Pithanra  (Prithwi  Itdjd)  Sal^n  Maizzu'ddin  S&m  made 
several  incursions  into  Hindustan  without  any  materiid  svccess.  The 
Hindu  chronicles  narrate  that  the  B&jd  engaged  and  defeated  the  Sul^in^ 
in  seven  pitched  battles.  In  the  year  588  A.  H.  (A.  D.  1192,)  an  eighth 
engagement  took  place  near  ThAnesar  and  the  Bijd  was  taken  prisoner. 
One  hundred  renowned  champions  (it  is  related)  were  among  his  special 
retainers.  They  were  severally  called  Sdmant^  and  their  extraordinary 
exploits  cannot  be  expressed  in  language  nor  reconciled  to  experience 
or  reason.  It  is  said  that  at  this  battle  none  of  these  champions  was 
present,  and  that  the  Bijd  kept  to  his  palace  in  selfish  indulgence, 
passing  his  time  in  unseemly  pleasure,  heedless  of  the  administration  of 
the  state  and  of  the  welfare  of  his  troops. 

The  story  runs  that  Rdja  Jaichand  Rath6r,  who  held  the  supremacy 
of  Hindustan  was  at  this  time  ruling  at  Kanauj,  and  the  other  Rdjas  to 
some  extent  acknowledged  his  authority  and  he  himself  was  so  liberal- 
minded  that  many  natives  of  Irdn  and  Turan  were  engaged  in  his  servioe. 
He  announced  his  intention   of  celebrating  the  great  sacrifice  symbolic  of

ford  sajB  that  he  was  called  Anangp41a 
or  befriended  by  love  probably  for 
his  snocess  in  his  amonrs,  which  he 
displayed  by  carrying  off  his  brother's 
wife.  Teiffenthaler  calls  him  Rasena 
and  credits  him  with  the  bnildmg  of 
Delhi,  which  is  confirmed  by  the  Agni^ 
por&na.  Wilford's  criticism  of  these 
dates  and  his  emendations  (Vol.  IX.  As, 
Res.  p.  169)  are  based  on  the  incorrect 
statement  that  Abol  Fazl  makes  the 
1st  year  of  Yikramaditya  to  correspond 
with  the  Ist  of  the  Hijra.  His  oonoln- 
sions  are  consequently  entirely  wrong.

paramount  supremacy  and  set  about  its  prepamtions.  One  of  its  conditions 
is  that  all  menial  service  should  be  performed  bj  princes  alone,  and  that 
eren  the  duties  of  the  royal  scallery  and  the  kindling  of  fires  are  directly 
a  part  of  their  office.  He  likewise  promised  to  bestow  his  beautiful 
daughter  on  the  bravest  of  the  assembled  chivalry.  B>iji  Pith  aura  had 
resolved  to  attend  the  festival,  but  a  chance  speech  of  some  courtier  that 
while  the  Chauhan  sovereignty  existed,  the  great  sacrifice  could  not 
legitimately  be  performed  by  the  Ra^hdr  chief,  inflamed  his  ancestral 
pride  and  he  held  back.  Raj4  Jaichand  proposed  to  lead  an  army  against 
him,  but  his  counsellors  representing  the  duration  of  the  war  and  the 
approach  of  the  appointed  assembly,  dissuaded  him  from  the  enterprise. 
To  carry  out  the  integrity  of  the  festival,  a  statue  of  Riji  Pithaura  was 
made  in  gold  and  placed  in  the  office  of  porter  at  the  royal  gates.  Roused 
to  indignation  at  this  news,  Bajd  Pithaura  set  out  in  disguise  accompanied 
by  500  picked  warriors  and  suddenly  appeared  at  the  gathering  and  carry- 
ing off  the  image,  he  put  a  great  number  to  the  sword  and  hastily  returned. 
The  daughter  of  Jaichand,  who  was  betrothed  to  another  prince,  hearing  of 
this  adventurous  deed,  fell  in  love  with  Pithaura  and  refused  her  suitor.  Her 
father,  wroth  at  her  conduct,  expelled  her  from  her  chamber  in  the  palace 
and  assigned  her  a  separate  dwelling.  Pithaura,  distracted  at  the  news, 
returned  with  a  determination  to  espouse  her,  and  it  was  arranged  that 
Ghdndi  a  bard,  a  rival  in  skill  of  Babylonian^  minstrelsy,  should  proceed 
to  the  court  of  Jaichand  on  the  pretence  of  chanting  his  praises,  while  the 
IUj4  himself  with  a  body  of  chosen  followers  should  accompany  him  as 
attendants.  Love  transformed  the  intention  into  act,  and  by  this  ingenious 
device  and  the  spell  of  valour,  he  carried  off  his  heart's  desire,  and  after 
prodigies  of  bravery  and  heroism  reached  his  own  kingdom.  The  hundred 
Sdmanis  (above  mentioned)  accompanied  him  under  various  disguises. 
One  after  the  other  they  covered  his  retreat  and  defeated  their  pursuers. 
Gobind  Rae  Gehldt  made  the  first  stand  and  bravely  fighting,  fell.  Seven 
thousand  of  the  enemy  sank  engulfed  in  death  before  him.  Next  Narsim^h

with  his  two  brothers,  during  the  first  day's  action,  after  performing  feats 
of  astonishing  heroism  sold  their  lives  dearly,  and  all  these  heroes  perished 
in  the  retreat.

The  Raj4,  with  the  bard  Ch^ndil  and  two  of  his  brothers^  brought 
bis  bride  to  Delhi  amid  the  admiration  of  a  wondering  world. 

nnfortanatelj  the  prince  was  all  engrossed  bj  his  affection  for  his 
beantifal  wife  and  neglected  ail  other  affairs.  After  a  year  had  thus 
passed,  Saltan  Shahabn'ddin  by  reason  of  the  above  events,  formed  an 
alliance  with  Bdjd  Jaichand,  and  assembling  an  army,  invaded  the  country 
and  captured  many  places.  But  no  one  dared  even  to  represent,  not  to  say, 
remedy  this  state  of  affairs.  At  last,  the  principal  nobles  meeting 
together,  introduced  Chandi  through  the  seven  gates  of  the  palace,  who 
enteiing  the  women's  apartments,  by  his  representations  somewhat 
disturbed  the  Rdj&'s  mind.  But  in  the  pride  of  his  former  victories,  he 
marched  to  battle  with  but  a  small  army.  As  his  brave  champions  were 
now  no  more,  his  kingdom  fallen  from  its  ancient  renown,  and  Jaichand 
his  former  ally,  reversing  his  past  policy,  in  league  with  the  enemy,  the 
B&jd  in  this  contest  was  taken  prisoner  and  carried  by  the  Sul^in  to 
Ghazni.  Chdndd  in  his  fidelity  and  loyalty  hastened  to  Ghttzni,  entered 
the  Sultan's  service  and  gained  his  favour.  By  his  address,  he  discovered 
the  Raj 4  and  comforted  him  in  his  prison.  He  proposed  that  he  should 
praise  his  dexterity  with  the  bow  to  the  Sultan  who  would  desire  to  wit- 
ness it,  and  that  then  he  might  use  his  opportunity.  The  proposal  was 
carried  out  and  the  R^jd  pierced  the  Snlfdn  with  an  arrow.  His  re- 
tainers fell  upon  the  Raj&  and  Ch&ad4  and  out  them  to  pieces. 

The  Persian  historians  give  a  different  account  and  state  that  the 
BdjA  was  killed  in  battle. 

Fate  discloses  many  such  events  from  its  treasure-house  of  wonders. 
But  where — and  blessed  is  he — who  will  take  warning  thereby  and  act 
on  the  lesson  ? 

When  the  Chauhdn  dynasty  fell,  the  choicest  portion  of  Hindustan 
passed  into  the  hands  of  Sul^dn  Muizzu'ddin  Ghori.  Leaving  Malik 
^u^bu'ddin  (Eibak)  who  was  one  of  his  slaves,  at  the  village  Guhr^m,^ 
he  himself  returned  to  Ghazni,  laying  waste  the  hilly  country  on  his 
northern  march,  ^u^bu'ddin  in  the  same  year  possessed  himself  of  Delhi 
and  many  other  places  and  followed  up  his  successes  with  remarkable 
ability.  On  the  death  of  Mi?^izzu*ddin,  Ghiyd^u'ddin  Mahmud  son  of 
Ghiy^^u'ddin  Mul^ammad  sent  from  Firdzkoh  (his  capital)  the  um- 
brella and   insignia  of  royalty  io   Malik   J^utbu'ddin.     ^utbu'ddin  was

ftnd  valour.     He  lost  bis  life  while  playing  at  chaugdn.^ 

The  nobles  raised  his  son  Aram  Shdb  to  the  throne,  but  a  strong  faction 
set  up  Malik  Altmish,  who  had  been  a  purchased  slave,  and  was  the  son- 
in-law  and  adopted  heir  of  ^utbu'ddin.  Arim  Sh&h  was  defeated  and 
retired  into  obscurity,  and  Altmish  assumed  the  title  of  Sharasu'ddin. 
It  is  said  that  his  father  was  chief  of  some  of  the  Turkish  tribes.  His 
brethren  and  cousins  distracted  by  envy,  sold,  like  Joseph,  this  nursling 
of  intelligence,  into  slavery.  Through  the  vicissitudes  of  fortune,  he  had 
various  changes  of  masters  until  a  merchant  brought  him  to  Ohazni. 
Saltan  Muizzu'ddin  S6m  proposed  to  purchase  him,  but  his  owner  chafEered 
for  his  value  and  placed  an  exorbitant  price  on  him.  The  Sultan  enraged, 
forbade  any  one  to  purchase  him.  IjCutbu'ddin  on  his  return  to  Ghazni 
after  the  conquest  of  Gujarit,  having  obtained  permission,  bought  him  for 
a  large  sum  and  adopted  him  as  a  son.  Khw&jah  IjCutbu'ddin  Ifshi*  was 
his  contemporary  and  edified  the  world  by  his  outward  demeanour  and  the 
sanctity  of  his  interior  life.  When  Altmish  died,  his  son  (Buknu*ddin 
Fir6z  Shilh)  succeeded  him  who  regarded  wealth  as  a  means  of  self-indul- 
gence and  thought  little  of  winning  the  affections  of  his  people.  He 
made  over  the  control  of  affairs  to  his  mother  Shdh  Turkfin.  The  nobles 
withdrawing  their  allegiance  raised  Baziah  the  daughter  of  Sultan 
Shamsu'ddin  to  the  throne.     The  Sultan  himself  had  previously  made  her

for  the  needs  of  his  family  whose  sus-

cakes  were  in  Ferishta's  day  still  baked 
and  offered  at  his  shrine.  His  mother 
was  a  woman  of  great  and  austere  virtue, 
and  his  future  sanctity  was  predicted 
by  Khizr  by  whose  personal  apparition 
he  was  twice  honoured.  He  was  offered 
by  Altmish  the  office  of  Shaikh  u'l  Isl&m 
which  he  declined.  His  intercourse 
with  that  monarch  and  the  eminent 
saints  of  his  day  may  be  gathered  from 
Ferishta's  monograph  of  his  life  at  the 
close  of  his  history.  He  died  on  the  14th 
Eabai  I,  A.  H.  634,  (A.  D.  \236).  A 
sketch  of  his  life  is  given  in  Dorn's

his  heir.  Some  of  his  courtiers  asked  him  the  reason  of  his  doing  so  while 
he  had  pons  still  living.  He  replied  that  his  sons,  addicted  to  drinMng 
were  unfitted  for  the  dignity.  Daring  the  reign  of  Muizu'ddin  Bahram 
Shdh,  the  Mughal  troops  devastated  Lahore.  A  disloyal  faction  imprisoDod 
the  king  and  put  him  to  death.  In  the  reign  of  Sultan  4^Uu*ddin  Masaud 
Shdh  occurred  an  eruption  of  the  Mughals  into  Bengal,  entering  by  way  of 
China  or  Tibet, .  but  his  troops  defeated  them.  Another  body  advanced 
from  Turkieht^n  to  ITch.  The  Saltan  set  out  to  engage  them,  but  on  reach* 
ing  the  banks  of  the  Bidh,  intelligence  reached  him  that  the  enemy  had 
retreated.  He  returned  to  Delhi  and  there  afEected  the  company  of  low 
and  base  flatterers  and  ended  his  days  in  prison. 

Na^iru'ddin  MeJ^mud  ruled  with  capacity  and  munificence.  In  his 
time  also,  the  Mughals  entered  the  Panjdb  but  retreated  on  hearing  of  his 
approach. 

The  "  Tabal^&t  i  Nd^iri  "^  takes  its  name  from  him.  He  had  many 
excellent  qualities.  Ghiya^u'ddin  Balban  who  had  been  the  slave  and  son- 
in-law  of  his  father,  he  raised  to  the  vank  of  chief  minister  and  gave  him 
the  title  of  IJlugh'  Kh4n.  This  minister  filled  his  high  office  worthily 
and  sought  the  divine  favour  in  watchfulness  over  his  people. 

N^iru'ddin  dying  without  children,  the  faithful  minister  was  raised 
to  the  sovereignty.  Clemency  and  solid  gravity  of  character  added  fresh 
lustre  to  his  dignity,  and  far  from  spending  his  precious  hours  in  unworthy 
pursuits,  he  gladdened  his  kingdom  by  his  appreciation  of  merit,  his 
knowledge  of  men  and  his  devotion  to  God.  Those  of  ill  repute  and  the 
wicked  were  banished  into  obscurity,  and  the  good  happily  prospered  under 
his  encouragement.  He  conferred  the  government  of  the  Panjdb  on  his 
eldest  son  Mul^ammad,  commonly  known  as  Khdn  i  Shahtdy^  through  whose 
valour  and  vigilance  the  province  rested  in  security.  Mir  Khusrau  and 
Mir  Hasan  were  in  his  suite.     He  was  returning  from  a  visit  to  his  father

nnprepared  for  hostilities,  when  he  enoountered  some  Mughal  troops  be- 
tween DipAlpdr  and  Lahor  and  lost  his  life  in  the  action,  Mir  Khnsran 
was  taken  prisoner  bat  contrived  to  escape.  The  province  of  Bengal  had 
been  bestowed  by  Ghij^a'ddin  on  his  youngest  son  Bughra  Kh&n. 

On  the  death  of  Ghiya^u'ddin,  the  nobles  despatched  Kai  Khasran 
the  son  of  Khan  i  Shahid,  who  had  been  nominated  heir,  to  (his  father's 
government  of)  MuU^n,  and  bestowed  the  title  of  Sultan  Maizzu'ddin 
Klaikab^d  on  the  son  of  Bnghra  Khdn  who  thus  acquired  the  sovereignty 
of  Delhi.  His  father  in  Bengal,  assuming  the  title  of  Ni^ini'ddfn 
inarched  to  Delhi  whence  Kaikabdd  advanced  with  a  force  to  encounter 
him.  The  armies  met  on  the  banks  of  the  Sarjd  (Oogra)  near  the  town 
of  Ajodhya>  and  through  the  conspiracy  of  disloyal  and  evil  counsellors, 
the  father  after  the  interview  returned  to  Bengal  and  the  supreme  sove  - 
reign ty  rested  with  the  son.  It  is  strange  that  Amir  Khusrau  should  have 
chosen  such  a  subject  as  this  interview  for  encomium  in  his  poem  the 
Kirdn  u^s  Sgtdain,  The  fortunes  of  this  thankless  unfilial  son  through  his 
insobriety  fell  into  decay.  A  faction  set  up  his  son,  under  the  title  of 
Shamsu'ddin  to  remedy  the  disorder,  and  the  body  of  the  wretched  Kai- 
kubad  was  flung  into  the  waters  of  the  Jumna.  Shamsu'ddin  was  set 
aside  and  the  sovereignty,  by  assent  of  the  ministers,  conferred  on  the 
S^iiljis. 

Jaldln*ddin  who  was  paymaster  of  the  Imperial  forces,  ascended  the 
throne  and  by  his  simplicity  of  character  lent  no  favour  to  the  designs  of 
the  factious.  His  nephew  Malik  ^^liu'ddin  who  had  been  brought  up 
under  his  care,  went  from  Karrah  to  the  Deccan  and  having  amassed  great 
booty  was  inflated  by  its  possession  and  proved  rebellious.  The  Sult4n 
by  the  persuasion  of  intriguers  advanced  from  Delhi  to  Karrah,  where  the 
traitor  slew  him  and  assumed  the  title  of  Sul^^n  A^au'ddin.  Thus  by 
a  marvel  of  Fate  did  the  empire  devolve  on  this  miscreant,  yet  he  accom- 
plished some  excellent  reforms.  On  several  occasions  he  encountered  and 
defeated  the  Mughals.  Mir  Khusrau  dedicated  to  him  his  Khamsah^  and

daned  his  usual  pmdenoe  and  fell  under  the  inflaence  of  a  eunuch  (K&t6r)  on 
whom  he  conferred  the  conduct  of  the  administration.  Through  the  sugge^ 
tions  of  that  wretch,  his  three  sons  Ehizr  Eh&n,  Shddi  Khin  and  Mubarak 
Khan  were  imprisoned,  and  on  hia  own  death,  by  the  same  instrumentality 
the  youngest  son  was  raised  to  the  throne  under  the  title  of  Shahdbu'ddin. 
He  destroyed  the  sight  of  two  of  his  brothers,  but  Mubarak  Khan 
providentially  escaped.  A  few  days  later  the  wretch  (KdfAr)  was 
himself  assassinated  and  Mubarak  Kh4n  wha  was  in  prison  became  chief 
minister. 

Subsequently  he  deposed  his  younger  brother,  and  assumed  the  title 
of  Sul^n  Kutbu'ddin.  He  reduced  Gujar4t  and  the  Deccan.  Throngh 
his  incapacity  and  licentious  disposition  he  chose  a  favourite  of  the  lower 
orders  named  Hasan  for  the  comeliness  of  his  person,  and  bestowed  on  him 
the  title  of  Khusrau  Khan.  Although  the  faithful  ministers  of  the  Crown 
represented  the  man*s  unworthiness  and  infamy,  the  king  regarded  their 
honest  advice  as  the  suggestions  of  envy,  till  Khusrau  Khan,  plotting 
secretly,  dared  to  assassinate  his  master  and  assumed  the  sorereignty  under 
the  title  of  Na^irn'ddtn.  He  put  to  death  the  surviving  members  of  the 
family  of  4-l^a'cldin  and  perpetrated  the  greatest  cruelties.  Malik  Qh&fi 
who  was  one  of  Alau'ddin'a  chief  nobles,  defeated  and  slew  him  and  with 
the  concurrence  of  the  nobles,  ascended  the  throne  with  the  title  of  Sul^n 
Ghiya^u'ddin  Tughla^l  Sh&h.  After  settling  the  affairs  of  Bengal,  he 
returned  to  Delhi.  His  son  Mnl^ammad  Khan  erected  a  pavilion  at  thb 
distance  of  3  kos  from  Delhi,  in  the  space  of  three  days  and  with  much 
entreaty  invited  the  king  to  enter  it.  The  roof  of  the  building  fell  in  and 
the  king  perished  in  the  ruina.     Althongh  (Zidu'ddin)  Bami^   endeavours 


proceeding  to  the  Deocan  imder  E£fdr, 
Kaa^la  Deri  represented  to  the  king  that 
ehe  had  borne  two  daughters  to  her  for- 
mer husband,  that  one  had  died,  bat  the 
other  Dewal  Devi  was  still  alive  and  she 
desired  to  recover  her.  Passing  throngh 
Mdlwah,  Kitur  demanded  her  of  Karan 
Eae  withont  snooess.  Shankan  Deva 
Rile,  prince  of  Deogarh  had  long  songht 
to  obtain  her  hand,  but  the  proud  Raj- 
pnt  had  hitherto  refused  his  daughter  to 
the  npstart  Mahratta.  The  desire  to 
gain  his  aid  in  the  war  against  the  king's 
troops  secnred  his  consent  and  he  des- 


patched her  nnder  an  escort  which  fell  in 
accidentally  with  a  body  of  Mu^^am- 
madan  troops  near  the  caves  of  EITora. 
An  engagement  resulted  in  the  capture 
of  the  princess  and  her  deapatch  to  her 
mother  at  Delhi.  Her  beauty  won  the 
heart  of  Khizr  Khin  the  king's  son  and 
the  rough  course  of  their  lore  with  its 
hapless  termination  is  celebrated  in  the 
Khizr  Kh&ni.  When  they  first  met 
these  precocious  Tovers  were  respective- 
ly ten  and  eight  years  of  age.

to  sabstantiate  the  innocence  of  Ma|^mmad  Khdn,  the  haste  with  which 
the  pavilion  was  erected,  and  the  eagerness  to  entertain  the  king  therein, 
have  all  the  appearance  of  guilt j  design. 

When  Snlfin  Mul^mmad  died,  Fir6z  the  son  of  (S&ldr)  Rajab  his 
paternal  ancle  was,  according  to  the  will  of  Muhammad,  raised  to  the  throne. 
He  ruled  with  capacity  and  prudence  and  left  many  useful  works  as 
memorials  of  his  reign.  At  his  death  anarchy  to  some  extent  prevailed  in 
the  empire.  A  faction  set  up  his  grandson  (Ghiyaffu'ddin)  Taghlal^  Shah 
(11)  but  in  a  short  space  he  was  sent  to  his  last  sleep  by  the  hands  of 
traitors  and  Abu  Bakr^  another  grandson  succeeded  him. 

In  the  reign  of  Sul^n  Mahmdd,  the  direction  of  affairs  devolved  on 
Mallu  Khin  who  received  the  title  of  I^b^l  Khan,  but  his  incapacity  and 
ill-fortune  were  unequal  to  the  burden  of  state  guidance.  Internal  dis- 
orders arose.  A  grandson  of  Fir6z  Sh^h  was  acknowledged  by  some, 
uader  the  title  of  Na^rat  Sh4h  and  increased  the  anai*chy.  Constant  strug- 
gles took  place  in  the  vicinity  of  Delhi  till  in  the  year  801  A.  H.  (A.  D. 
1398)  Timdr  invaded  the  country.  Sultan  Mji^imdd  fled  to  Q  a jardt  and 
every  competitor  for  power  was  crushed. 

When  Tiraiir  was  on  his  ret  am  march,  he  left  Khizr  Khdn,  whom  he 
had  met  during  this  invasion,  in  the  government  of  Multan  and  Dipdlptir. 
For  two  months  Delhi  was  a  waste.  Na^rat  Shdh  who  had  fled  into  the 
Dodb,  took  possession  of  the  throne.  Ilfhil  Khin  then  marched  on  Dal  hi 
and  seized  it  and  the  other  fled  to  Mew&t.  Maljimtid  Khdn  now  came  from 
Gujardt  and  Ikbdl  Khan  f«igned  acceptance  of  his  service.  One  night  the 
Sultan,  in  desperation  of  his  affairs  departed  alone  to  the  court  of  Saltan 
Ibrahim  of  the  Sharki  dynasty  (of  Jaunpiir)  but  met  with  no  encourage- 
ment nor  assistance.  He  was  compelled  therefore  to  return  and  Jl^bal  Khdn 
DOW  opposed  him  bat  without  success,  and  subsequently  was  taken  prisoner 
in  an  action  against  Khizr  Khan  and  was  slain.  Sultan  Mahmud  now 
took  possession  of  Delhi,  and  was  for  some  time  occupied  in  hostilities,  till 
he  was  carried  ofE  by  an  illness,  and  the  Khilji  dynasty  terminated  with 
him. 

For  a  short  period  allegiance  was  paid  to  Daulat  Kban  (Lodi)  Khdsah 
Khaily  till  Khizr  Khan  marched  from  Multdn  and  took  possession  of  Delhi. 
Malik  Marddn  Daulat  Khan,  one  of  the  nobles  of  the  Court  of  Sultan 
Firdz,  had  adopted  Sulaiman  the  father  of  Khizr  Kh&n  as  his  son 
who  subsequently,  in  default  of  recognised  heirs,  succeeded  to  his  govem-

title  bat  styled  his  Court  "  The  Sublime  Standards,"  and  adorned  the 
Khuibah  with  the  name  of  that  illustrious  monarch  and  afterwards  with 
that  of  Mirz4  Shih  Rukh,  but  it  concluded  with  a  prayer  for  himself. 
His  son  Mubdrak  Shih  succeeded  him  in  accordance  with  his  will.  Sul(4a 
Ibrahim  Sharljii  and  Hoshang  (of  Mdlwah)  bein^  engaged  in  hostilities, 
Mubarak  intended  an  attack  on  Kdlpi  and  the  adjacent  territories,  but  he 
was  perfidiously  set  upon  by  a  band  of  traitors  and  slain.^  Mu^mmad 
Shah,  who  according  to  some  was  the  son  of  Farid  the  sou  of  Khizr  Khio, 
while  another  account  makes  him  the  son  of  Mubdrak,  was  raised  to  the 
throne.  Sul^dn  Alau'ddin  (his  son  and  successor)  possessed  no  share  of 
rectitude  and  abandoned  himself  to  licentious  gratification*  Bahl61  (Lodi) 
now  aspired  to  greatness.  He  was  the  nephew  of  Sul^dn  Shdh  Lodi  of  the 
Shahti  Kh^l*  tribe  (of  Afghans).  His  father  Bahrdm  in  the  time  of 
Sul^dn  Mat^mtid,  came  with  five  sons  from  the  borders  of  Bal6t  to  Mul- 
tdn  and  subsisted  with  some  difficulty^  by  traffic.  Sul^dn  Shdh^  obtained 
service  under  Khizr  Khdn.  He  received  the  title  of  Islam  Khdn,  and  the 
reyennes  of  Sirhind  were  assigned  to  him.  Bah  161,  the  son  of  his  nephew 
on  his  brother's  side  was  prospering  ill  in  Sirhind,  but  was  received  into 
favour  by  him  and  adopted  as  a  son.  Bahl6i  was  born  in  Multan  and 
during  the  month  in  which  his  birth  was  expected,  a  beam  of  the  house

and  bis  destiny  proved  fortunate.  Although  he  allowed  his  sovereign 
(Alau'ddin)  who  lived  in  retirement  (at  Badaon)  to  retain  nominal  power, 
he  boldly  assumed  the  supreme  authority^  His  reign  showed  some  capa- 
city aivd  his  conduct  was  marked  by  intelligence  and  recognition  of  merit. 
He  was  carried  off  by  an  illness  in  his  80th  year.  It  is  said  that  he  once 
happened  to  meet  with  a  darvesh,  having  at  the  time  with  him  but  a 
trifling  sum  of  money.  The  spiritually  enlightened  recluse  called  out, 
"  Who  will  buy  the  kingdom  of  Delhi  for  such  a  sum  of  money  ?  "  His 
companions  laughed  in  mockery  at  the  man,  but  Bah  Id  I  frankly  gave  him 
all  he  had,  and  paid  him  reverence  and  eventually  fulfilled  the  prediction.* 
He  carried  on  wars  with  the  Sharl^i  kings  which  continued  with  varying 
successes,  until  he  took  Jaunpdr  and  this  dynasty  was  overthrown.  He 
left  his  son,  Bdrbak  at  Jaunpdr  and  returned  to  Delhi.  As  he  was  return- 
ing to  Delhi  from  an  expedition  against  Gwalior  he  died  near  the  town 
of  Saketh.^  His  son  Nizdm  Khdn  with  the  concurrence  of  the  nobles, 
assumed  the  sovereignty  and  was  styled  Sultan  Sikandar.  He  ruled  with 
sagacity  and  appreciation  of  character  and  transferred  the  capital  to  Agra 
In  the  year  A.  H.  911  (A.  D.  1505),  a  great  earthquake  occurred  and 
many  lofty  buildings  were  levelled.  Sikandar  was  of  comely  person  and 
mild  disposition  and  popular  from  his  liberality  and  open-handedness. 

On  his  death,  his  son  SuHdn  Ibrahim  ascended  the  throne  of  Delhi 
and  his  authority  was  recognised  as  far  as  the  confines  of  Jaunpdr,  the 
nobles  conferring  upon  Jalal  Kh4n  another  son  of  Sikandar's,  the  sovereign- 
ty of  Jaunptir.  Dissensions  followed  between  the  brothers,  and  Jalal 
Khdn  abandoned  his  government  and  took  refuge  with  the  governor  of 
Gwalior  but  meeting  with  no  success,  fled  to  the  court  of  Suljdn  Mahmdd 
of  M^lwah,  and  succeeding  as  little  there,  he  set  out  for  Gondwanah. 
There  the  royal  partisans^  seized  him  and  carried  him  to  the  king  by 
whom  he  was  put  to  death.  During  his  reign  various  chiefs  revolted,  such 
as  Datyd  Khdn  Loh4ni  viceroy  of  Behdr,  and  his  son  Bahddur  Khdn  had  the 
Khutbah  read  and  the  coin  minted  in  his  own  name.  Daulat  Khan  Lodi  fled 
to  Kabul  and  sought  protection  at  the  court  of  Baber,  whom  he  led  to  the 
conquest  of  Hindustdn  while  affairs  resulted  in  a  prosperous  issue.

989  A.  H.  (20th  March  1581),  Akbar 
crossed  the  Indus  at  Attook  and  ordered 
the  building  of  the  fort,  of  mortar  and 
stone  in  order  to  control  that  part  of 
the  country  and  called  it  A^ak  which 
signifies  in  the  remacular  'hindrance'

the  Hindus  to  cross  the  Indus.  Ferishta.

This  province  is  populous,  its  climate  healthy  and  its  agricuUaral 
fertility  rarely  equalled.  The  irrigation  is  chiefly  from  wells.  The  winter 
though  not  as  rigorous  as  in  Persia  and  TnrkestAn,  is  more  severe  than  is 
any  other  part  of  India.  Through  the  encouragement  given  by  Hia 
Majesty,  the  choicest  productions  of  TurkestAn,  Persia  and  Hindustan  are 
to  be  found  here.  Musk-melons  are  to  be  had  throughout  the  whole  year. 
They  come  first  in  season  when  the  sun  is  in  Taurus  and  Gemini,  (April, 
May,  June,)  and  a  later  crop  when  he  is  in  Cancer  and  Leo  (June,  July, 
August).  When  the  season  is  over,  they  are  imported  from  Kashmir 
and  from  K&bul,  Badaksh&n  and  Turkestan.  Snow  is  brought  down  every 
year  from  the  northern  mountains.  The  horses  resemble  the .  Ir^k  breed 
and  are  of  excellent  mettle.  In  some  parts  of  the  country,  they  employ 
themselves  in  washing  the  soil  whence  gold,  silver,  copper,  rwi,*  zinc,  brass 
and  lead  are  obtained.     There  are  skilful  handicraftsmen  of  various  kinds. 

Ldhor  is  a  large  city  in  the  Bari  Dotib.  In  size  and  population  it  is 
among  the  first.  In  ancient  astronomical  tables  it  is  recorded  as  Lohdwar. 
Its  longitude  is  lOQ""  22',  lat.  31  "*  50'.»  During  the  present  reign  the  forti- 
fications and  citadel  have  been  strengthened  with  brick  masonry  and  as  it 
was  on  several  occasions  the  seat  of  government,  many  splendid  buildings 
have  been  erected  and  delightful  gardens  have  lent  it  additional  beauty. 
It  is  the  resort  of  people  of  all  countries  whose  manufactures  present  an 
astonishing  display  and  it  is  beyond  measure  remarkable  in  populousness 
and  extent. 

NagarkSt  is  a  city  situated  on  a  hill :  its  fort  is  called  Kdngrah.  Near

of  the  divinity.  Pilgrims  from  distant  parts  visit  it  and  obtain  their  de- 
sires. Strange  it  is  that  in  order  that  their  prayers  may  be  favourably  heard, 
they  cat  out  their  tongues :  with  some  it  grows  again  on  the  spot,  with  others 
after  one  or  two  days.  Although  the  medical  faculty  allow  the  possibility  of 
growth  in  the  tongue,  yet  in  so  short  space  of  time  it  is  sufficiently  amazing. 
In  the  Hindu  mythology,  Mdhamaya  is  said  to  be  the  wife  of  Mahddeva,  and 
the  learned  of  this  creed  represent  by  this  name  the  energizing  power  of  the 
deity.  It  is  said  that  on  beholding  the  disi'espect  (shown  to  her  husband, 
STiva)  she  cut  herself  in  pieces  and  her  body  fell  in  four  places  ;  her  head  and 
some  of  her  limbs  in  the  northern  mountains  of  Kashmir  near  Kamrdj\  and 
these  relics  are  called  Sharadd :  other  parts  fell  near  Bijdpur  in  the  Deccan 
and  are  known  as  TuJjd  (Turja)  Bhatodni,  Such  portions  as  reached  the 
eastern  quarter  near  Kamrup  are  called  Kdmdkhya^^  and  the  remnant 
that  kept  its  place  is  celebrated  as  Jdla*idhari  which  is  this  particular 
spot.*

9  The  erndition  of  Professor  Cowell 
has  directed  me  to  the  sonrce  of  this 
legend  which  may  be  read  with  varia- 
tion of  detail  in  the  preface  to  the  Gopa- 
tha  Bdlhmana  published  in  Nos.  215-252 
of  the  Bibl.  Ind.  pp.  30-35.  It  occurs  in 
the  2nd  Book  in  the  germ  which  after- 
wards developed  into  the  Pauranic  tale 
of  Daksha's  gpreat  sacrifice.  This  mind- 
horn  son  of  Brahmfi  and  father  of  Uma  or 
Darga  assisted  at  a  Yisrasrig  sacrifice 
celebrated  by  his  father  in  which  discour- 
tesy was  shown  to  S'iva.  A  quarrel  broke 
out  between  Daksha  and  S'iva,  resulting 
in  the  exclusion  of  the  latter  from  the 
great  sacrifice  to  which  the  whole  Hindu 
pantheon  was  bid.  Uma  seated  in  her 
blissful  mansion  on  the  crest  of  the 
Kail^  mountain,  saw  the  crowds  pro- 
ceeding to  her  father's  court  to  which 
she  repaired  and  learning  the  exclusion 
of  her  husband,  upbraided  her  father  for 
hv  injustice  and  refused  to  retain  the 
body  she  had  inherited  from  him. 
Covering  herself  up  with  her  robe,  she 

4,0 


gave  up  her  life  in  a  trance  of  medita- 
tion. The  wrath  of  S'iva  incarnate  in  a 
giant  form  pursued  the  feasters  and 
created  stupendous  havoc.  Vishnu  un- 
able to  pacify  S'iva  and  knowing  that 
his  fury  was  kindled  by  the  sight  of  his 
dead  wife,  cut  the  body  to  pieces  bit  by 
bit  with  his  discus  and  threw  it  about 
the  earth  and  thus  calmed  the  irate  and 
oblivious  deity  who  thereupon  restored 
the  killed  and  wounded  to  life  and  sound- 
ness. Dakslia's  head  having  been  burnt 
in  the  mel^e,  it  was  replaced  by  that  of 
a  goat  which  happened  to  be  at  hand, 
apparently  without  remonstrance  from 
the  reanimated  demigod  or  oven  his 
consciousness  of  the  substitution.  The 
Tantra  Ghuddmani  is  able  fortunately 
to  detail  the  portions  of  the  body  and  to 
identify  the  places  where  they  fell. 
As  these  are  said  to  be  still  held  in 
high  veneration,  I  record  them  for 
the  instruction  of  the  curious  or  the 
devout.

In  the  middle  of  Sindh  Sdgar  near  Bhamsdhad  is  the  cell  of  Bdln^th 
Jogi  which  they  call  Tilah  Bdlndt\,^  Devotees  of  Hindastan  regard  it 
with  yeneratioQ  and  Jogis  especially  make  pilgrimage  to  it.  Rock-salt  is 
found  in  this  neighhourhood.  There  is  a  mountain  20  kSs  in  length  from 
which  they  excavate  it,  and  some  of  the  workmen  carry  it  out.  Of  what  is 
ohi4uned,  three-fourt.hs  is  the  share  of  those  that  excavate  and  one-fourth 
is  allotted  to  the  carriers.  Merchants  purchase  it  at  from  half  to  two 
ddiiM  a  man  and  transport  it  to  distant  countries.  The  landowner  takes 
10  ddms  for  every  carrier  and  the  merchant  pays  a  duty  of  one  rupee  for 
every  17  man  to  the  state.  From  this  salt  artificers  make  dishes,  dish- 
covers,  plates  and  lamp-stands.

^  General  Canningham  (Ancient  Geog. 
of  India,  p.  164)  says  that  the  Tila  range, 
30  miles  in  length,  occupies  the  west 
tank  of  the  Jhelam  from  the  east  bend 
of  the  river  below  Mangala  to  the  bed 
of  the  Bonhar  river,  12  miles  north  of 
JsUUpor.  The  full  name  is  Gorakndth 
to  Tila,  the  more  ancient,  Bdlnath  lea  Tila, 


both  derived  from  the  temple  on  the 
sammit  dedicated  to  the  Ban  as  Bilnnth, 
bat  now  devoted  to  the  worship  of 
Goraknath,  a  form  of  Siva.  The  name 
Bdlnath,  he  oonsiders  older  than  the 
time  of  Alexander  identical  with  Pin- 
taroh's  Hill  of  the  Elephant,  but  his 
inferences  are  more  plausible  than 
secure. 

*  The  spelling  of  this  word  has  several 
variants,  but  its  true  orthography  seems 
to  be  *^  "be^h."  Sandy  unpro- 
ductive soil.  The  I.  G.  interprets  it 
equivalent  to  khddar,  low  alluvial  soil 
and  prodactive,  but  its  fertility  depends 
on  the  deposit  of  silt  during  inunda- 
tions, and  thus  both  significations  may 
hold  good.  General  Canningham  derives 
it  from  the  "  back  "  {pah)  of  the  Daitya 
King  Jalandhara  who  was  crashed  under 
Jawala  Mukhi  by  Siva  and  whose  torso

*  Said  by  Cunningham,  (Anct.  Geog., 
p.  168  and  prononnoed  Qirjhah)  to  be 
the  Hindu  name  for  Jaldlpiir,  the  pro- 
bable site  of  the  famous  oity  of  Bokephala 
built  in  memory  of  Alexander's  horse. 

*  This  well-known  village  lies  on  the 
road  between  Rawal  Pindi  and  Peshawar 
which  with  its  ruins,  says  the  I.  Q., 
forms  part  of  a  group  of  ancient  oities 
lying  round  the  site  of  the  ancient 
Taxila.  Hwen  Thsang  the  Chinese 
Buddhist  pilgrim  of  the  7th  Century  A.  D. 
visited  the  tank  of  the  Serpent  King, 
Elapatra,  identified  with  the  spring  of 
Bilb&  WaU  (£andah4ri)  or  Panja  Sahib. 
The  fountain  is  hallowed  by  legends  of 
Buddhist,  Brahman,  Moslem  and  Sikh. 


The  shrine  of  Panja  S&hib  crowns  a 
precipitous  hill  about  one  mile  east  of  the 
town,  and  at  its  foot  is  the  holy  tank,  a 
small  square  reservoir,  full  of  fish.  De- 
lapidated  briok  temples  surround  the 
edge  and  on  the  west  side  the  water 
gushes  out  from  beneath  a  rock  made 
with  the  representation  of  a  baud, 
ascribed  by  the  Sikhs  to  their  founder 
Bihi  N&nak.  The  scenery  is  extremely 
picturesque ;  the  river  Haroh  hard  by 
affords  excellent  fishing,  and  on  its  near 
shore  two  ancient  cypresses  are  the 
only  epitaph  above  the  tomb  of  one  of 
Akbar*s  wives.  For  KachakSt^  see  Cun- 
ningham, Anot.  Geog.,  p.  116.

It  is  situated  in  the   first,   second  and  third  climates  simultaneously. 
Before   Tattah   was   comprised   in   this  province,  its  len^^fth  from  Firozpur 


»  Var.  and  G.  FariV-  Var.  and  T.

*  The  valley  of  the  Jhelum  takes  the 
name  of  THindh  (Three  rivers)  after 
its  junction  with  the  Chen&b  and  the 
R&vi  and  that  of  Panjnad  (Five  rivers) 
after  receiving  the  united  waters  of  the 
Beas  and  Sutlej.  I.  G.  This  restricted 
signification  cannot  here  apply.    Certain 


outlying  portions  beyond  the  limits  of 
the  Punjab  Proper  were  evidently 
attached  to  the  S'&bahs  of  Labor  and 
Mult6n  and  to  the  aarkar  of  Dipalpur 
and  were  denominated — Bird/n  i  Panjnad. 
Their  position  may  be  surmised  but 
assurance  is  perhaps  beyond  reach.  The 
first  two  of  these  three  names  I  cannot 
satisfactorily  trace.

but  the  authority  of  the  two  best  MSS* 
(relegated  to  the  notes)  divideathem. 
One  at  least  of  these  names,  Dand,  still 
lives  in  the  local  designation  of  a  former 
bank  of  the  Sutlej,  whose  shifting  course 
has  modified  the  a«pect  of  the  ^country. 
One  ancient  bed,  forming  the  base  of  the 
segment  where  the  Sutlej  after  its  junc- 
tion with  the  Beis  curves  round  to  the 
south-west  is  called  the  Sukhar  Nai  (I. 
G.)  which  crotaes  the  district  east  to  west 
and  joins  the  modefn  channel  near  the 
borders  of  Sirsa.  The  Danda  bank  points 
to  a  still  more  ancient  course  crossing 
the  south-west  comer  35  miles  east  of 
the  present  stream,  traceable  as  far  as 
Moodkee  and  thence  at  intervals  to  the 
Sutlej  15  miles  farther  north.  The  old 
beds  of  the  Bdvi  and  BeAs  which  former- 
ly united  their  waters  much  lower  down, 
at  present  may  be  traced  through  a 
great  part  of  the  BAri  Doib.  (I.  G.)

Ghenib  and  B^vi  at  a  town  named  "  SoK 
tanpour,"  otherwise  called  **  Noschahra," 
near  which  the  B&vi,  joined  by  the  Sutlej 
and  Be&s  falls  into  and  loses  its  name 
in  the  Chenib,  and  this  river,  now  hold- 
ing the  Jhelum,  B&vi,  Sutlej  and  Beis, 
continues  to  retain  its  own.  See  the 
ancient  courses  of  these  rivers  in  Can* 
ningham's  Ancient  Geography  of  India, 
p.  220,  et  aeq.  General  Cunningham  bases 
bis  discussion  on  Gladwin's  translatioa, 
vit.,  *  For  the  distance  of  17  h6s  from

beds  still  exist  but  their  names  are  lost* 
Now  Abul  Fazl  does  not  say  that  the 
Sutlej  divides  into  4  streams,  but  that 
it  bears  several  names.  I  have  been 
careful  to  be  exactly  literal  in  my  ver- 
sion.    The  difficulty  lies  in  the  meaning 

of  the  words  *^***'  j^  Vi)T«^,  "  nnites

MuUdn,  confluent  with  the  former  four,  thoir  aocnmalated  waters  unite. 
Erery  river  that  discharges  itself  into  the  Indus  takes  its  name  of  Sindh, 
In  Tattah,  they  call  it  Mihran.^ 

To  the  north  are  the  mountains.  Its  climate  is  similar  to  that  of 
Lahor  which  it  resembles  in  many  aspects,  but  in  Mult&n,  the  rainfall  is 
l«gs  and  the  heat  excessive. 

Multdn  is  one  of  the  oldest  cities  of  India :  Long.  107''  35' ;  Lat.  29''  52'*. 
U  has  a  brick  fort  and  a  lofty  minaret  adds  to  its  beauty.  Shaikh  Bahd- 
u^dcUn  ZakaHyd  and  many  other  saints  here  repose. 

Bhakkar  (Bhukkur)  is  a  notable  fortress ;  in  ancient  chronicles  it  is 
oalled  Manfurah.^    The  six  rivers   united  roll  beneath  it,   one   channel 


Nai  oertunly  do  not,  for  they  strike  the 
riYer  at  different  points  moch  higher  up. 
Abnl  Fazl  is  describing  the  rivers  water- 
ing the  liolt&n  Sdbah.  He  says  they 
are  the  six  previously  mentioned,  vm.» 
under  Lahor.  He  first  speaks  of  the 
Jhelum  and  the  Ohen&b  and  follows  them 
to  their  jonotion  with  the  SHvi  and  then 
to  their  meeting  with  the  Indus.  Here 
are  four.  He  now  turns  to  the  Beds  and 
Sutlej  which  join  near  Firozpur  and  the 
stream  after  bearing  several  names  be- 
comes confluent  with  "  those  four''  near 
Multiuif  not,  I  consider,  with  the  four  local 
names,  even  were  they  separate  beds, 
bat  with  the  four  that  complete  the  six. 
The  doubt  arises  why  he  should  place 
the  junction  near  Mult&n  instead  of  Uch, 
bat  this  is  not  surprising  to  any  one  ac- 
oostomed  to  his  obscure  and  vague  style 
of  narrative.  Moreover  the  passage  in 
the  toxt  resembles  a  notice  of  these  six 
rivers  in  Saber's  Memoirs  to  which  Abul 
Facl  was  much  indebted  in  the  prepara- 
tion of  this  third  book  of  the  Ain.  The 
passage  is  as  follows  :  I  use  the  trans- 
lation of  Erskine.  "To  the  north  of 
Behrend,  six  rivers,  the  Bind,  the  Behat, 
the  Ohenftb,  the  lUlvi,  the  Biih,  and 
the  Setlej,  take  their  rise  in  these  moun. 
tains,  and  all  uniting  with  the  Sind  in 
the  ten%U>ry  of  Multdn,  take  the  com- 
mon name  of  Sind,  which  flowing  down 


to  the  west,  passes  through  the  country 
of  Tatta,  and  disembogues  into  the 
sea  of  Oman."  Further  the  division  of 
the  Sutlej  into  the  four  local  streams  does 
not  alter  its  point  of  junction  with  the 
Ghen4b  for  at  p.  222,  Cunningham  says 
that  Abul  Fasl's  measurements  of  dis- 
tances from  the  confluence  of  the  Ohen^b 
and  Jhelum  to  that  of  the  Chen^b  and 
Bdvi  and  the  Ghen&b  and  Indus  agree 
with  the  later  state  of  these  rivers.

See  its  course  and  the  names  of  its  chan- 
nels in  Cunningham's  Ancient  Geography 
of  India,  pp.  252,  272,  286, 298,  &o.  The 
Indus  is  called  the  Mihr^  by  Ibn 
Haukal  but  his  information  leads  him 
to  believe  that  its  source  is  the  Oxus 
from  whence  passing  Multlin  and  being 
joined  by  the  Sind !  at  three  marches 
from  that  town  falls  into  the  sea  at 
Dambal  (Debal;.    Ousely,  p.  165.

W.  Tieff .  gives  the  longitude  from  the 
Fortunate  Islands  at  108°  but  this  he 
considers  excessive.  Bah^u'ddin  is 
mentioned  in  Vol.  I,  899,  and  Ferishta's 
monograph  of  the  saint  will  probably 
satisfy  his  modem  disciples. 

8  After  the  decline  of  the  Arab  power 
in  Sind  about  A.  D.  871,  two  native 
kingdoms  raised  themselves  at  Multiin 
and  Mansurah.     The  former  comprised

passing  the  southern  face  of  the  fort,  the  other  the  northern.  The  rainfall 
is  inconsiderable,  the  fruits  excellent. 

Between  Siwi^  and  Bhakkar  is  a  vast  desert,  over  which  for  three 
months  of  the  hot  season  the  simoom  blows. 

The  river  8%nd  (Indus)  inclines  every  few  years  alternately  to  its 
southern  and  northern  banks  and  the  village  cultivation  follows  its  course. 
For  this  reason  the  houses  are  constructed  of  wood  and  grass.

the  apper  valley  of  the  Indus  as  far  as 
Alor;  the  latter  extended  from  that 
town  to  the  sea  and  nearly  coincided 
with  the  modem  province  of  Sind. 
Alor,  or  Aror,  the  capital,  almost  rivalled 
Malt6n  and  had  an  extensive  commerce. 
I.  G.  Genl.  Cunningham  (Ancient  Geog.) 
gives  the  name  of  Man^iarah  to  the 
town  fonnded,  according  to  Masaddi,  by 
Jamhur,  the  Moslem  governor  of  Sindh, 
and  named  after  his  own  father  Man^iir, 
so  close  to  Brahman&bid  as  to  be  regard- 
ed as  the  same  place.  His  learned  dis- 
onssion  depends  too  much  on  analogies 
of  sound  iu  names,  to  be  quite  convincing.

At  one  period  the  province  was  subject  to  the  sovereigns  of  Delhi :  at 
another  it  was  under  the  control  of  the  rulers  of  Sind,  and  for  a  time  was 
held  by  the  princes  of  Qhazni.  After  its  conquest  hy  Muizzu'ddin  Sam 
(Ghori),  it  continued  to  pay  tribute  to  Delhi.  In  the  year  A.  H.  847 
(A.  D.  1443)  when  Sultan  Alau'ddfn  reigned  at  Delhi,  and  constituted 
authority  fell  into  contempt,  every  chief  in  possession  of  power,  set  up  a 
pretension  to  independence.  A  noisy  faction  raised  Shaikh  Ydsuf 
Kuraishi,  a  disciple  of  Shaikh  Bahdu'ddfn  Zakariya,  to  supremacy.  Ho 
was  subsequently  deposed  and  proceeded  with  haste  to  the  court  of  Sul^dn 
Bahldl  at  Delhi.  The  sovereignty  now  devolved  upon  one  of  the  Langdh 
&mi1y,  who  assumed  the  title  of  Sul^dn  Mahmud  Shdh.  It  is  related  that 
this  chief  had  given  his  daughter  in  marriage  to  Shaikh  Ydsuf,  and  on  the 
strength  of  this  connection,  used  frequently  to  visit  her  alone,  till  one 
night  by  a  successful  intrigue  he  accomplished  his  design  on  the  throne. 
Daring  the  reign  of  Sul^in  ^u^bu'ddin,  Sul^dn  Mal^mlid  Khiiji  advanced 
fiom  Malwah  against  Mult^n  but  returned  without  effecting  anything. 
Some  maintain  that  the  fii%t  of  the  Langdh  family  who  was  raised  to  the 
throne  was  Kutbu'ddin.  In  the  reign  of  Sultan  Husain,  Bahldl  sent  (his 
son)  Barbak  Shdh  with  a  force  to  reinstate  Shaikh  Ydsuf,  but  they  re- 
turned unsuccessful.  SuHan  Husain  becoming  old  and  doting,  placed  his 
eldest  son  upon  the  throne  under  the  title  of  Fir6z  Shah,  and  withdrew 
into  retirement.  His  Wazir  Imadu'l  Mulk,  poisoned  him  in  revenge  for 
the  murder  of  his  own  son  and  Sult&n  Husain  a  second  time  resumed  the 
sceptre  and  appointed  Mahmdd  Khan,  son  of  Sultan  Firdz,  his  heir.  On 
the  death  of  Sultan  Husain,  after  a  reign  of  30  or  34  years,i  Sultan  Mahmdd 
ascended  the  throne.  During  his  reign  several  incursions  were  made 
by  the  Mughals  who,  however,  retired  discomfited.     Some  malicious  intri-

traces  of  its  fortifications.  Alor^  next  became  tbe  metropolis  and  at  the 
present  day  it  is  Tattahf  also  called  DehaL  The  monatains  to  the  north 
form  several  branches.  One  of  them  trends  towards  Kandahdr^  and  another 
rising  from  the  sea  coast  extends  to  the  town  of  Kohbdr,  called  Bdmgar^ 
and  terminates  in  Sewistdn  and  ia  there  known  as  Lakkhi.^  This  tract  is 
inhabited  by  an  important  Baloch  tribe  called  Kalmdniy^  consisting  of  twenty 
thonsand  cavalry.  A  fine  breed  of  camels  is  here  indigenous.  A  third 
range  mns  from  86hwdn  to  S6wi  and  is  called  KkcUtar^  where  dwells  a  tribe 
named  Nohmardi  that  can  raise  a  force  of  300  horse  and  7,000  foot.  Below 
this  tribe,  there  is  another  clan  of  the  Baloch  known  as  Nazhari  with  a  force 
of  a  thousand  men.  A  good  breed  of  horses  comes  from  this  tract.  A  fourth 
mountain  chain  touches  Kach  (Gtinddvd)  on  one  side,  and  on  the  other  the 
Kahndni  territory,  and  is  called  Kdrah  inhabited  by  4,000  Balochis.

1  The  rnina  of  Alor,  or  more  correctly 
Aror,  are  dtoated  to  the  sonth  of  a  gap 
in  the  low  range  of  limebtone  hilli 
stretching  from  Bhakar  to  the  sonth  for 
about  20  miles  nntil  it  is  lost  in  the 
broad  belt  of  sand  hills  bounding  the 
"Sin,  or  old  bed  of  the  Indos.  On  the  west, 
Cunningham  reg^ards  it  as  the  capital  of 
the  Musicani  of  Gurtius.  He  disputes 
the  assertion  of  Abul  Fazl  that  Debal 
and  Tattah  are  the  same.  Bir  H.  Elliot 
places  Debal  at  Kar&chi.  General  Oun- 
ningham  prefers  a  site  between  Karachi 
and  Tattah  and  is  "almost  <3ertain" 
that  it  must  be  the  Indian  city  in  which 
Zobeide  in  the  Arabian  Nights  found  all 
the  people  turned  to  stone.  This  certi- 
tude on  such  a  point  is  striking  and

t  The  Lakhi  range  (the  text  duplicates 
the  k.)  is  an  offshoot  from  the  Kirthar 
which  separates  Sind  from  Beluchistin. 
I.  G.  Kohbdr  has  a  variant  Eorahyir, 
but  I  do  not  trace  it ;  the  Msk^sir  'ul 
Umara  has  Kohbdr  but  as  its  description 
of  Sindh  is  taken  from  Abul  Fazl,  its 
authority  is  of  no  independent  value. 

8  The  Baloch  and  the  Brahui  are  the 
two  great  races   of   Baloohistan,    each 

43 


subdivided  into  an  infinite  number  of 
tribes.  Of  these  the  Kumberani  is  said 
to  take  precedence  of  all  others.  The 
name  in  the  text  is  not  mentioned  in 
the  works  I  have  consulted.  Sherring 
mentions  Kirmani. 

^  No  doubt  the  Kirthar  range  of  the 
I.  G.,  an  off  shoot  of  which,  the  Lakhi, 
terminates  abruptly  a  few  miles  south  of 
Sehw&n.  Nafhari  has  a  variant  T<^2ari 
adopted  by  Gladwin.  The  plain  country 
to  the  east  of  the  mountain  mass  that 
intervenes  between  it  and  EheUt  ia 
called  Eachhi  or  Kachh  Gandivd  and 
Kdrah  seems  to  be  a  spur  that  strikes 
thence  to  the  Lakhi  chain.  North  of 
the  Bol&n,  confused  ranges  of  mountains 
extend  to  east  with  a  strike  nearly 
east  and  west  to  the  Sulaim&n  range. 
This  tract  inhabited  by  Marris,  Bngtis 
and  other  Baloch  tribes  is  bounded  on 
the  north  by  the  province  of  Sewisfc&n 
(I.  G.)  General  Onnningham  states 
that  Sehw&n  is  snid  to  be  a  contraction 
of  Sewistin  and  rejects  it  as  a  juodem 
innovation  of  the  Hindus,  but  he  could 
scarcely  have  seen  the  text  of  Abul  Fazl 
whose  account  does  not  admit  of  this

the  sammer  heats  are  moderate  except  in  Sewistdn.  Fmits  are  of  varionB 
kinds  and  mangoes  are  especially  fine.  In  the  desert  tracts,  a  small  kind 
of  melon  grows  wild.  Flowers  are  plentiful  and  camels  are  nnmerons  'and 
of  a  good  breed.  The  means  of  locomotion  is  bj  boats  of  which  there  are 
many  kinds,  large  and  small,  to  the  number  of  40,000.  The  wild  ass  is 
hunted,  and  game,  such  as,  hares,  the  kotah  pdchah^  and  wild  boars; 
fishing  likewise  is  much  pursued. 

The  assessment  of  the  country  is  made  on  the  system  of  division  of 
crops,*  a  third  being  taken  from  the  husbandman.  Here  are  salt-pits  and 
iron  mines.  Shdli  rice  is  abundant  and  of  good  quality.  Six  kds  from 
Tattah  is  a  mine  of  yellow  stone,  large  and  small  slabs  of  which  are 
quarried  and  used  for  building.  The  staple  food  consists  of  rice  and  fish. 
The  latter  is  smoked  and  loaded  in  boats,  and  exported  to  the  ports  and 
other  cities,  afEording  a  considerable  profit.  Fish-oil  is  also  extracted  and 
used  in  boat  building.  There  is  a  kind  of  fish  called  palwah  which  comes 
up  into  the  Indus  from  the  sea,  unrivalled  for  its  fine  and  exquisite  flavour. 
Milk-curds  of  excellent  quality  are  made  and  keep  for  four  months. 

Near  Sehtodn  is  a  large  lake,  two  days'  journey  in  length  called 
MancMr,  in  which  artificial  islands  have  been  made  by  fishermen  who 
dwell  on  them. 

But  the  greatest  of  all  wonders  is  the  Liver-Eater  (Jigar  Khwdr),  an 
individual  who  by  glances  and  incantations  can  abstract  a  man's  liver. 
Some  aver  that  under  certain  conditions  and  at  certain  times,  he  renders 
the  person  senseless  upon  whom  he  looks,  and  then  takes  from  him  what 
resembles  the  seed  of  a  pomegranate,  which  he  conceals  for  a  time  in  the 


1  Literally  '  short  legged.'  It  is 
znentioDed  bj  Baber  in  his  Memoirs 
among  the  fauna  of  K&bul  and  India 
and  is  thus  described  in  firsldne's 
translation.  ''Its  size  may  be  equal 
to  that  of  the  white  deer.  Its  two 
fore-legs  as  well  as  its  thighs  are 
short,  whence  its  name.  Its  horns  are 
branching  like  those  of  the  g^wezin 
but  less.  Every  year  too  it  casta  its 
horns  like  the  stag.  It  is  a  bad  runner 
and  therefore  never  leaves  the  jungle." 
These  characteristics  seem  to  point  to 
the  hog-deer.     {Cervus  porcintu,) 

S  I  believe  this  to  be  the  proper  trans- 


lation of  LT^  ^  and  not  *oom  bear- 
ing' as  I  have  construed  it  at  p.  44, 
(final  word  of  the  page).  According  to 
the  I.  G.  in  Haidarabad  District  Sind, 
the  Government  assessment  was  former- 
ly levied  in  kind  (hhasffi)  but  on  a 
petition  from  the  ZamCndars,  the  pay- 
ment has  since  been  made  in  cash.  They 
are  paid  by  the  tenants  in  kind  at  the 
following  rates :  On  land  under  eharkhi 
(Persian  wheel)  cultivation,  one- third  of 
produce  :  on  aaUdbi  (canal  flooding)  lands, 
two-thirds ;  in  the  case  of  the  best  lands, 
yielding  cotton,  tobacco  and  sngurcane, 
as  a  rule  in  cash.

calf  of  bis  leg.  Daring  this  interval  the  person  whose  liver  is  stolen  re« 
mains  nnconscions,  and  when  thns  helpless,  the  other  throws  the  seed  on 
the  fire  which  spreads  out  like  a  plate.  Of  this  he  partakes  with  his  fellows 
and  the  onoooscioas  yictim  dies.  He  can  convey  a  knowledge  of  his  art  to 
whomsoever  he  wills,  by  giving  him  a  portion  of  this  food  to  eat  and  teach- 
ing him  the  incantation.  If  he  is  oanght  in  the  act  and  his  calf  be  out 
open  and  the  seed  extracted  and  given  to  his  victim,  the  latter  will  recover. 
The  followers  of  this  art  are  mostly  women. 

They  can  convey  intelligence  from  long  distances  in  a  brief  space  of 
time  and  if  they  be  thrown  into  the  river  with  a  stone  tied  to  them,  they 
will  not  sink.  When  it  is  desired  to  deprive  one  of  these  of  this  power, 
they  brand  both  sides  of  his  head  and  his  joints,  fill  his  eyes  with  salt, 
suspend  him  for  forty  days  in  a  subterraneoos  chamber,  and  give  him  food 
without  salt,  and  some  of  them  recite  incantations  over  him.  During  this 
period  he  is  called  Dhachrah,  Although  his  power  then  no  longer  exists, 
he  is  still  able  to  recognize  a  Inver-Eater,  and  these  pests  are  captured 
through  his  detection.  He  can  also  restore  people  to  health  by  incantation 
or  administering  a  certain  drug.  Extraordinary  tales  are  told  of  these 
people  that  are  beyond  measure  astonishing. 

This  country  is  the  fourth  Sarkdr  of  the  Stibah  of  Mult&n.  From  the 
confines  of  Uch  to  Tattah  towards  the  north  are  rocky  mountain  ranges 
inhabited  by  various  Baloch  tribes,  and  on  the  south  from  Uch  to  Oujardt 
are  sandhills  in  which  region  are  the  AhsMm  bhcUti^  and  other  numerous 
clans.  From  Bhakkar  to  Nofirpdr  and  UmarkSf  are  the  Sodah,  Jdrejah  and 
other  tribes.  This  Suhah  contains  5  Sarkdrs  subdivided  into  53  parganahs.

1  Though  there  is  no  variant  to  this 
name,  I  suspect  that  there  has  been  a 
transposition  of  the  K  and  R,  and  that 
it  is  meant  for  the  town  of  Jarak 
situated  midway  between  Haidar4bad 
and  Tattah.

Tieffenthaler's  list  except  in  the  first  8 
names  is  in  accordance  with  these,  allow- 
ing   for  his  erratic    spelling:    Elliot's 
taken  from  the  Tarikh  i  Masiimi,  changes 
the  third  name  only.    Ferishta  giyes  the 
1st  and  8rd  names   Afz&h  and  Mini ; 
Briggs,  Afr&  and  Bany.    Ferishta  makes 
Tamdji  son  of  Mini  i  Briggs,  his  brother, 
Ferishta  allots  62  years  to  the  reign  of 
Kizima'ddin  Nandi ;    Briggs,   82,    and 
his  dates  are  not  taken  from  Ferishta 
who  gives  none  except  to  the  last  8  on 
the  U.  T.  list  and  in  accordance  with  it. 
I  have  to  note  that  Ferishta  gives  the 
duration  of  the   Somra  dynasty,  as  100 


years  and  not  600  as  Briggs  records  and 
the  name  of  the  sncceeding  race,  Satmah 

or  Sntmah  (o'*****)  and  not  Soomnna. 
The  title  of  Jim,  Ferishta  prononnoes  a 
boast  of  their  supposed  descent  from 
Jamshid,  but  commonly  given  to  their 
head  or  chief  to  preserve  the  tradition 
of  this  fabnions  lineage.  The  lineage 
of  the  Snmra  and  Samma  dynasties  is 
discussed  in  Appendix  P.  of  Blliof  s 
Arabs  in  Bind.  The  latter  name  may  be 
traced  in  the  Sambast»  and  Sambus  of 
Alexander's  historians.  Sambus  ooonrs 
as  Babbas  in  Plutarch,  Saboutas  in 
Strabo,  Ambigarus  in  Justin  and 
Ambiras  in  Orosius.  These  variations 
are  not  surprising  and  we  have  an 
analogous  instance  in  the  name  of  the 
famous  English  Free  Lanoe  of  the  Middle 
Ages,  Sir  John  Hawkwood,  whi^  ooouis 
frequently  in  the  Italian  writers  of  that 
time  under  the  following  disguises  i 
Auguto,  Aguto,  Acute,  Haukennod,  Eau 
Kennode,  Hau  Kebbode,  Haucatos^ 
Aucobedda,  and  Falcon  del  Bosco.  Jdm» 
shed  is  formed,  according  to  Elliot's 
authorities,  from  Jim  *  king '  and  Bh6d 
*  sun '  (p.  195)  but  he  modestly  leaves 
the  etymology  of  Jim  undecided.

In  former  times,  there  lived  a  Biji  named  Siharas^  whose  capital  was 
Al<5r.  His  sway  extended  eastwards,  as  far  as  Kashmir  and  towards  the 
west  to  Mekrin,  while  the  sea  confined  it  on  the  south  and  the  mountains 
on  the  north.  An  inyading  army  entered  the  country  from  Persia,  in 
opposing  which  the  Biji  lost  his  life.  The  invaders  contenting  themselves 
with  devastating  part  of  the  territory,  returned.  Bie  Sihi,  the  Biji's 
son,  succeeded  his  father,  by  whose  enlightened  wisdom  and  the  aid  of  hi« 
intelligent  minister  BdrHf  justice  was  universally  administered  and  the 
repose  of  the  country  secured.  A  Brihman  named  Jach^  of  an  obscure 
station  in  life,  attached  himself  to  the  minister's  service  and  by  flattery 
and  address  made  himself  of  much  consequence  and  was  advanced  to  a  post 
of  dignity,  and  on  the  death  of  the  minister,  was  chosen  to  succeed  him. 
He  basely  and  dishcmourably  carried  on  an  intrigue  with  the  Biji's  wife> 
which  the  Biji,  notwithstanding  its  disclosure  to  him  by  the  ministers 
of  State,  refused  to  credit.  During  the  Biji's  illness,  the  wicked  wretch, 
in  collusion  with  this  shameless  paramour,  sent  for  the  generals  of  the 
army  separately,  on  pretence  of  consulting  them  and  set  them  apart,  and  by 
seductive  promises  won  over  the  several  enemies  of  each  to  accomplish 
their  death.  WTien  they  were  put  out  of  the  way  and  the  Biji  too  bad 
breathed  his  last,  he  assumed  the  sovereignty.

of  Ohach  and  the  extinction  of  the

The  parsaers  of  worldly  iafcerests  attached  themselves  to  his  cause  and 
he  took  the  Bdni  to  wife,  thns  garnering  eternal  pefdition,  bnt  he  labonred 
for  the  prosperity  and  increase  of  his  dominions  and  seized  upon  Koch 
(Ghuiddv&),  and  Mekrdn. 

Daring  the  Caliphate  of  Omar  (b.  u'l)  Kha^^ab,  Maghirah  Abn'l  4^^ 
advanced  by  way  of  Bahrain  to  Debal,  bat  the  troops  there  opposed  him 
and  he  was  killed  in  the  engagement.  In  the  Caliphate  of  Othman  an 
intelligent  ezplorei'*  was  sent  to  ascertain  the  condition  of  Sind,  and  an 
army  of  invasion  was  ander  orders.  The  messenger,  however,  reported 
that  if  a  large  force  were  sent,  supplies  would  fail,  and  a  small  one  would 
effect  nothing  and  he  added  many  dissuasive  representations.  The  Prince 
of  the  Faithful,  Ali,  despatched  troops  that  occupied  the  borders  of  Debal 
but  on  hearing  of  the  death  of  the  Caliph  they  withdrew  in  haste  to 
Mekrdn.  Muawiyah  twice  despatched  an  army  to  Sind  and  on  both  occa- 
sions many  of  the  troops  perished. 

Ohach  died  after  a  prosperous  reign  of  40  years,  and  his  youngest  son 
Ddhir  succeeded  him  on  the  throne.  In  the  caliphate  of  Walid.  b.  Abda'i 
Malik,  when  Hajjdj  was  governor  of  Ir&V»  he  despatched  on  his  own  autho- 
rity Ma]{;iammad  K&sim  his  cousin  and  son-iu-law  to  Sind  who  fought 
Dahir  in  several  engagements.*  On  Thursday  the  10th  of  Ramaz&n  A.  H. 
99,  (17th  April  717)  the  Baj4   was  killed  in  action  and  the  territory  of

*  Hikim.  b.  Jabala  al  Abdi  was  sent 
to  explore  Sejistin  and  MekrAn  and  the 
oonntries  bordering  on  the  Indus  valley 
by  Abdu'Uah  4^mar,  a  ooosin  of  the 
Ciliph,  who  had  suoceeded  Abu  Miisa 
Ashari  in  the  government  of  Basra.  His 
report  was  as  follows :  "  Water  in 
that  country  is  of  a  dark  colour,  flow- 
ing only  drop  by  drop,  the  fruits  are 
sour  and  unwholesome,  rocks  abound 
and  the  soil  is  brackish.  The  thieves 
are  intrepid  warriors,  and  the  bulk  of 
the  population  dishonest  and  treacher- 
ous. If  the  troops  sent  there  are  few 
in  number,  they  will  be  exterminated, 
if  they  are  numerous,  they  will  perish  of 
hunger."  Ihid.  pp.  9  and  10.  The 
expeditions  of  AU  and  Mu&wiyah  and  the 
progress  of  the  Arab  conquests  in  Sind 


may  be  read  in  the  succeeding  pages. 
Elliot's  conclusion  that  Debal  was  taken 
in  A.  H.  93  is  conflrmed  by  As  6ay6ti 
in  the  biog^phy  of  Al  Walid,  b.  Abdu'l 
Malik,  in  which  year  Kirakh,  or  Kiraj 
as  Ibn  ul  Athir  calls  it,  was  also  captur- 
ed. (See  my  translation  of  As  Say6ti's 
History  of  the  Oaliphs,  p.  229.)  Elliot 
thinks  this  probably  situated  in,  if  not 
named  from  Kachh.  I  supposed  it  to  be 
Karilchi  which  he  identifies  with  the 
ancient  Krokala  of  Arrian,  but  this  does 
not  alter  its  possible  metathesis  among 
the  Arabs,  into  Eliraj.  The  pursuit 
of  these  analogies  may  be  interesting 
but  the  result  is  conjecture.

Tatlah  became  subject  to  the  invaders.  The  two  daughters  of  Biji 
Dihir,  who  had  been  made  captive  were  sent  with  some  valnable  presents 
to  the  Caliph.  In  a  sjHrit  of  revenge,  they  deceitfully  represented  to  the 
Oaliph  that  Mutiammad  J^dsim  had  dishonom^  them.  He  therefore  ab* 
stained  from  visiting  them,  and  in  a  fit  of  fnry  gave  orders  that  ]j|[asim 
should  be  stnffed  into  a  raw  hide  and  despatched  to  his  presence.  The 
ocmimands  oi  the  Gali{^  reached  him  when  he  was  abont  to  march  against 
Hari  Chand,  king  of  Kanauj,  and  he  obediently  submitted  to  them.  When 
be  was  thus  carried  to  the  court,  the  Caliph  exhibited  the  spectacle  to  the 
two  princesses  who  expressed  their  gratification  in  viewing  the  slayer  of 
their  father  in  this  condition.  This  decision  of  the  Caliph  excites  astonish* 
ment  inasmuch  as  it  was  pronounced  without  deliberate  investigation.  It 
is  the  duty  of  just  princes  not  to  be  swayed  by  the  representation  of  any  one 
individual,  but  to  be  circumspect  in  their  inquiries,  since  truth  is  rare  and 
falsehood  prevalent,  and  more  especially  in  regard  to  the  recipients  of  their 
fiivour,  towards  whom  the  world  bums  with  envy  without  just  cause  of 
resentment.  Against  the  outwardly  plausible  and  inwardly  vicious  they 
should  be  particularly  on  their  guard,  for  many  are  the  wicked  and  factious 
who  speciously  impose  by  their  affected  merit  and  by  their  misrepresenta- 
tions bring  ruin  on  the  innocent. 

After  Muhammad  ^dsim's  death,  the  sovereignty  of  this  country 
devolved  on  the  descendants  of  the  Banu  Tamim  Anyiri.^  They  were 
succeeded  by  the  8umrah  race  who  established  their  rule  and  were 
followed  by  the  Sammas  who  asserted  their  descent  from  Jamshtdy  and  each 
of  them  assumed  the  name  of  Jam,     In  the  reign  of  Jdm  Bdnhatiyah^ 


I  Sereral  of  this  tribe  were  at  varions 
perioda  sent  to  Bind.  Under  the  Oali- 
pliateof  Yasid  b.  ^bd  a'l  Malik,  Hal&l 
a't  Tamimi  was  sent  in  pnrsnit  of  the 
fiann  Mnhallab.  About  107  A.  H. 
Tamim  b.  Zaid  al  Vtbi  snooeeded  Jnnaid 
in  the  government  of  that  province 
and  died  near  Debal.  Under  the 
Abbaasidee  M&sa  b.  K^b  a't  Tamimi, 
drove  out  ICanydr  b.  Jamhtir  the  Umay- 
yad  goyemor.  ^bdn'r  Baxz&k  the  first 
Ohameyide  governor  of  Sind,  aboat 
A  H.  417,  (1026)  found  the  de. 
toendants  of  old  Arab  aettlers  of  the 
tribes  of    Thakift,   Tamimi,   Asad   and 


many  other  familief.  The  length  of 
the  Tamimi  ooonpation  ia  unknown  or 
disputed,  and  the  obsouritj  of  the  annals 
of  the  time  precludes  the  possibility  of 
decision. 

S  Mini  according  to  Ferishta  who 
says  that  the  expedition  of  Firds  Tngh- 
lak  took  place  in  768  A.  H.  (A.  D.  1820) 
and  was  unsuccessful  owing  to  want  of 
supplies  and  forage  which  Mini  had  out 
off  by  deyastating  the  country.  He  re- 
tired to  Gujarat  and  after  the  rains  and 
on  the  approach  of  winter,  the  second 
invasion  occurred  which  led  to  the  sob* 
mission  of  AI4ui.

Saltan  Fir6z  Sb&h  on  three  occasions  led  an  army  from  Delhi  against  that 
prince,  and  obtcdned  some  conspicnons  successes.  On  the  third  occa- 
sion, he  took  him  prisoner  and  carried  him  to  Delhi,  leaving  Sind  nnder 
charge  of  his  own  officials.  Snbseqaently  being  satisfied  with  his  good 
will  and  capacity  he  reinstated  bim  in  his  goyernment.  On  the  death  of 
Jdm  Tughlak,  tbe  chamberlain  Mubdrak  succeeded  him  throagh  the  efforts 
of  a  vain  and  seditious  &ction,  and  was  followed  by  Sikandar  the  son 
of  Jdm  Fat^  Khdn. 

During  the  reign  of  Jdm  Nandd,  Shdh  Beg  Arghun  made  a  descent 
from  ^andahdr  and  took  SStoi  and  leaving  the  command  of  it  to  his 
brother  Sul^dn  MuJ^tammad,  returned  to  ^andahar.  The  Jam  marched  a 
force  against  Muhammad  who  was  killed  in  action.  Sh^h  Beg  made  a 
second  incursion  and  took  possession  of  Sehwdn  and  a  considerable  part  of 
Sind  and  leaving  his  conquests  in  charge  of  his  own  people,  withdrew. 

In  the  reign  of  Jdm  Firdz,  a  relative  of  his  named  Salal^u'ddin  rose  in 
rebellion  and  failing  in  his  attempt,  took  refuge  with  Sul(dn  Ma^mtid  of 
Gujardb  who  received  him  graciously  and  assisted  him  with  an  army ; 
Darya  Khan  the  prime  minister  of  Jam  Firdz  espoused  his  cause  and  the 
kingdom  of  Sind  fell  under  his  power  without  a  blow.  Subsequently  the 
said  Daryd  Khdn  determined  to  restore  Jam  Fir6z  who  had  withdrawn 
into  private  life,  but  who  thus  recovered  his  kingdom.  Saldhu'ddiu  a 
second  time  advanced  from  Gujardt  with  a  force  furnished  by  the  Sul^dn 
and  occupied  Sind.  Fir6z  retired  to  ^andahdr  and  Shdh  Beg  supplied  him 
with  troops,  and  an  engagement  took  place  near  Sehwdn  in  which  Saldhu'd- 
din  and  his  son  were  slain.  Thus  Firdz  was  again  established  in  his 
kingdom.  In  the  year  A.  H.  929*  (A.  D.  1522-3)  Shdh  Beg  took  possession 
of  Sind  and  Jdm  Fir6z  retired  to  Gujardt,  gave  his  daughter  in  marriage 
to  SuHdn  Bahddur  and  was  attached  to  the  Court  in  the  ranks  of  its  nobles. 
Sind  was  now  subject  to  Shah  Beg.  This  prince  was  the  son  of  Mir  Zu'n 
Nun  Beg,  the  commander-in-chief  of  Sul^a  Husain  Mirzd,^  who  received 
the  government  of  Kandahdr.  He  fell  fighting  bravely  against  Shaibak 
Khdn  Uzbek  who  was  engaged  in  hostilities  with  the  sons  of  Sul^n  Husain 
Mirzd.  His  eldest  son  succeeded  to  the  government  of  ICandahdr,  a  prince 
of  distinguished  valour  and  versed  in  the  learning  of  his  age.  At  his 
death,  his  son  Shdh  Husain  ascended  the  thi*one  and  wrested  Multdn  from 
Sultan  Matmdd.     After  him  Mirzd  Isd  son  of  Abdn'l  Ali  Tarkhdn^  succeed-

Gnnningham  asserts  is  the  pronunciation 
of  the  Punj&bis,  and  Pantsil  of  the 
Kashmiris,  p.  12d.  The  superstition 
regarding  the  tempest  6t  wind  and  snow 
and  rain,  appears  to  be  connected  with 
that  of  the  Yedeh  or  rain- stone  frequently 
alluded  to  by  Baber,  the  history  of  which 
is  given  by  lyHerbelot.  It  is  of  Tartar 
origin  and  the  virtues  of  the  stone  are 
celebrated  in  Tarkand  and  attested  by 
authorities  who  have  never  vritnessed 
them.  It  is  said  to  be  found  in  the  head 
of  a  horse  or  a  cow,  and  if  steeped  in  blood 
of  an  animal  with  certain  oeremonies,  a 


wind  arises  followed  by  snow  and  nun.

according  to  Drew  (Jommoo  and 
Kashmir)  has  come  to  be  used  more  or 
less  generally  in  Kashmir  for  "pass," 
protiably from  the  "pir"  or  ttSkix  who 
often  sitablished  himself  upon  it  to 
maintain  oraoquire  the  reputation  of 
sanctity.  Pir  Pan j4l  has  oome  to  mean 
the  pass  of  the  Great  Eange,  Panjil 
being  applied  to  a  great  nurantain  ridge.

crossed  in  Aurangzeb^s  time  mentions  a 
hermit  on  the  pass  who  had  lived  there 
since  the  reign  of  Jahangir.  The  creed 
he  professed  was  not  known,  but  his 
powers  were  said  to  be  miraculous  and 
the  elements  were  nnder  his  control, 
rain,  hail,  storm  and  wind  rising  or 
ceasing  at  his  bidding.  He  demanded 
alms  in  a  tone  of  authority,  and  forbade 
any  noise  being  made  lest  a  tempeit

peril  through  disobedience  of  this  in-

generally  of  wool,  a  coat  of  which  will  last  for  some  years.  The  horses

According  to  Cnnningham  (Ladak,  p.

the  tall  black-faced  Huniya  nsed  chief- 
ly for  carrying  bnrdens  and  the  pretty 
diminativ^e  sheep  of  Purtfc  nsed  only  for 
food.  The  common  sheep  is  the  Huniya 
which  with  the  exception  of  the  Turik 
breed  is  almost  the  only  kind  of  sheep 
to  be  found  throughout  Tibet.  It  is 
much  larger  than  any  of  the  Indian 
breeds,  the  height  averaging  from  27  to 
30  inches.  Nearly  the  whole  of  the 
traffic  is  transported  on  these  sheep 
which  are  food,  clothing  and  carriage 
and  are  the  principal  wealth  of  the 
country.  Drew  ( Jummoo  and  Kashmir 
p.  288j  gives  the  average  weight  carried 


by  them  at  from  24  to  32  lbs.  The 
Purik  sheep  when  full  g^rown  is  not 
larger  than  a  south-down  lamb  of  5  or 
6  months^  and  is  said  by  Moorcroft  to 
equal  in  the  fineness  and  weight  of  its 
fleeoe  and  fiavour  of  its  mutton  any  race 
hitherto  discovered.  The  oxen  are  the 
y^k  or  chauri- tailed  bull  and  the  yak 
cow,  Brimo  or  Dimo,  and  their  prodnce 
with  the  common  cattle.  The  yak  is 
kept  chiefly  for  loads,  being  generally 
too  intractable  for  the  plongh.  The  cow 
is  kept  only  for  milk.  The  most  valu- 
able hybrids  are  the  Dso  bull  and  Dtotno 
cow,  the  produce  of  the  male  yik  and 
common  cow.  Other  hybrids  are  the 
Dtepo  or  Drelpo,  the  male  produce  be- 
tween the  common  bull  and  the  Dsoim 
and  the  Dremo  or  female.  The  Governor 
of  Jammu  whose  considerable  attain-

From  the  general  use  of  pellet-bows  which  are  fitted  with  bow-strings,

Ferishta  has  been  almost  entirely  passed 
oyer  bj  Briggs  in  his  translation,  the 
omission  may  be  here  made  good  and 
will  serve  the  doable  porpose  of  supple- 
menting  his  version  and  elucidating  the 
present  text.  With  the  following  note 
may  be  compared  a  monograph  on  the 
Boshaniyah  sect  by  Dr.  Leyden  in  the 
Xlth  Vol.  Asiatic  Researohes. 

Mini  Haidar  (Doghlit)  in  his  work 
the  Satab  i  Bashidi  says  that  formerly 
all  the  inhabitants  of  Kashmir  were  of 
the  9anifL  sect.  In  the  time  of  Fatb 
Shiih,  a  man  named  Shamsu'ddfn  came 
from  Iri^  and  declared  himself  to  be  a 
follower  of  Mir  Mu^mmad  Ndr  Baksh. 
He  introduced  a  new  form  of  religion 
which  he  called  Niirbakshi  and  promul- 
gated various  heretic  and  impious 
opinions  and  circulated  among  the  repro- 
bate a  book  of  theology  named  Uhiktah 
which  accords  neither  with  the  Sunni  or 
Bhi^  belief.  And  the  followers  of  this 
sect,  like  heretics,  consider  it  their  duty 
to  revile  and  abuse  the  three  Oaliphs  and 
Ayesha,  but  unlike  the  Shi^hs,  they  re- 
gard Amir  Sayyid  Muhammad  N^  Baksh 
as  the  Mahdi  and  Apostle  of  his  time, 
and  they  do  not  believe  as  the  Shi^hs  do 
in  saints  and  holy  persons,  but  consider 
them  to  be  Sunnis.  He  thus  introduced 
innovations  in  religious  worship  as  well 
as  in  worldly  transactions,  and  styled  his 
creed  N^bakshi.  Mirzi  Haidar  adds,  '  I 
have  seen  many  elders  of  this  sect  in 
Badaksh&n  who  have  shared  in  my 
literary  and  scientific  pursuits.  They 
all  outwardly  observe  the  various  religi- 


ous obligations  and  follow  the  instmo* 
tions  of  the  Prophet,  and  their  belief  is 
in  conformity  with  that  of  the  Sunnis. 
One  of  the  sons  of  Amir  Sayyid  Md. 
Ndr  Baksh  showed  me  his  work.  Thers 
was  a  striking  passage  in  it  which  runs 
thus:  "Kings  and  the  rich  and  the 
ignorant  are  of  opinion  that  worldly 
power  cannot  be  combined  with  piety  and 
purity  of  heart  in  any  one  person.  This 
idea  is  altogether  false,  for  the  great 
prophets  and  apostles,  notwithstanding 
their  divine  legation  ruled  kingdoms 
and  strove  likewise  for  purity  of  heart, 
such  as  Joseph,  Solomon,  David,  Moses 
and  our  Prophet."  This  opinion  is 
opposed  to  the  belief  of  the  Ndrbakahi 
sect  but  is  in  accord  with  that  of  the 
Sunnis.  I  sent  the  theological  work 
UMUah  which  was  well  known  in  those 
days  in  Kashmir  to  the  learned  men  of 
India.  Their  judgment  on  it  was  as 
follows :  '  0  Gk>d,  show  unto  ns  the  truth 
in  its  reality  and  the  false  wherein  it  is 
void,  and  show  unto  us  things  as  they 
verily  are.'  After  a  sfcudions  and  oarefol 
consideration  of  this  work,  it  appears  to 
ns  that  its  author  believes  in  a  false 
religion,  has  forsaken  the  divine  com- 
mands and  prohibitions  and  has  ezdnded 
himself  from  the  congregation  of  the 
Sunnis.  In  his  pretension  that  God 
hath  commanded  him  to  do  away  witk 
all  differences,  firstly,  in  the  develop- 
ments of  the  religious  teaching  of  Islam 
that  have  arisen  among  the  followers  of 
the  Prophet  and  to  restore  it  to  the 
form  it  held  in  his  time  without  addition 
or  diminution^  and  secondly,  in  its  fimda*

iheir  nails  into  jour  liver.  The  most  respectable  class  in  this  country  is 
that  of  the  BdLhmans,  who  notwithstanding  their  need  of  freedom  from 
the  bonds  of  tradition  and  custom,  are  true  worshippers  of  God. 

They  do  not  loosen  the  tongue  of  calumny  against  those  not  of  their 
faith,  nor  beg  nor  importune.  They  employ  themselves  in  planting  fruit

among  all  peoples  with  certainty  of

doctrine  of  heretics  and  perverts.  It  is 
the  religions  duty  of  those  who  have  the 
power,  to  destroy  this  book  and  efface  it 
from  the  earth,  and  to  extirpate  this 
religion,  root  and  branch)  and  to  prohibit 
p^ersons  from  following  it  and  acting 
according  to  its  dog^nas.  And  if  they 
persist  in  their  belief  and  abandon  not 
their  false  creed,  it  is  necessary  for  the 
secuity  of  the  Mnslims  from  their  ill 
example,  to  chastise  and  even  slay  them. 
But  if  thej  abandon  it  and  repent  of 
their  past  condact,  thej  should  be 
directed  to  follow  the  teaching  of  Abu 
Qanifa  to  whom  onr  Prophet  alladed  in 
his  saying,  *  Lamp  of  my  followers.* 
When  this  declaration  reached  me,  I 
compelled  many  men  of  Kashmir  who 
were  much  disposed  to  this  heresy,  to 
accept  willingly  or  otherwise  the  trne 
religion  (and  I  pnt  others  to  death. 
Borne  of  these  men  saved  themselves  by 
adopting  mystic  doctrines  and  called 
themselves  Sufis.  In  reality  they  are 
not  sincere  S^s,  but  are  a  sprinkling 
of  heretics  and  atheists  who  lead  men 
astray,  do  not  know  what  is  lawful  or 
unlawful,  consider  night  watching  and 
abstinence  in  food,  acts  of  piety  and 
purity,  eat  whatever  is  put  before  them, 
ire  avaricious  and  greedy  to  an  extreme ; 
sedulously  employ  themselves  in  the 
interpretation  of  dreams,  fortune-telling

and  together  with  siich  disgraceful  acts, 
observe  the  forty  days  of  retirement ; 
are  averse  from  the  pursuits  of  the 
learned,  walk  proudly  in  the  way  of 
interior  holiness,  omitting  the  obser- 
vance of  religious  forms  and  ceremonies, 
and  maintain  that  the  former  is  indepen- 
dent of  the  latter.  In  short,  such  here* 
tics  and  atheists  are  not  to  be  found 
elsewhere  in  the  world.  May  God  pre- 
serve us,  and  take  the  people  of  Islam 
Under  His  protection,  and  sare  them 
from  such  calamities  and  misfortunes  in 
the  name  of  Muhammad  and  his  descen- 
dants." Before  these  people,  there  lived 
in  Kashmir  a  sect  of  Sun-worshippers 
who  were  called  Shamm&ssin.  Their 
creed  was  that  the  sun's  light  owed  its 
existence  to  their  purity  of  faith,  and 
that  they  themselves  existed  through 
the  light  of  the  sun,  and  that  if  they 
rendered  their  faith  impure,  the  sua 
would  cease  to  be.  On  the  other  hand 
if  the  sun  ceased  to  shine  they  would 
not  live ;  thus  they  owed  their  existence 
to  the  sun  and  without  them  it  could 
not  endure.  When  the  sun  is  present, 
that  is  in  the  day-time  they  ore  bound  to 
act  virtuously,  as  he  sees  their  actions, 
but  when  it  is  night  and  the  sun  neither 
sees  them  nor  has  knowledge  of  what 
they  do,  their  moral  responsibility  for 
their  deeds  ceases.  This  sect  called 
themselves  "  Sharasu'ddin  (Sun  of  Reli- 
gion) pretending  to  receive  the  delivery 
of  the  title  from  heaven.  The  Kashmiris 
abbreviated  it  into  Shammdsi.''

in  Kashmiri.  In  tormer  times  ordinary 
money  transactions  were  conducted  in 
Kashmir  by  means  of  copper  coins,  for 
the  great  majority  of  payments  were 
made  in  grain  which  has  always  been

was  probably  the  only  silver  coin  of

about  2}  annas,  but  as  Abul  Fail  gives

Srinagar  is  the  capital  and  is  4  farsaths  in  length.  The  rivers 
Bihaty  Mdr^  and  Laehmahhul^  flow  through  it.  The  last-mentioned  runs 
oooasionallj  dry :  the  second,  at  times,  becomes  so  shallow  that  boats  can- 
not pass.  This  has  been  a  flourishing  city  from  ancient  times*  and  the 
home  of  artificers  of  varions  kinds.  Beantifnl  shawls  are  woven,  and  they

Sayyid  Alt  Hamaddni*  resided  for  some  time  in  this  city,  and  a  monastery 
founded  by  him  still  preserves  his  memory.  To  the  east  is  a  high  hill 
known  as  the  Koh  %  Sttlaimdn^  and  adjoining  the  city  are  two  large  lakes 
always  full  of  water,  and  it  is  remarkable  that  their  water  vrill  not  de- 
teriorate in  good  savour  and  wholesomeness  for  any  length  of  time  pro- 
vided that  their  free  exit  is  undisturbed* 

Near  the  town  of  Brang  is  a  long  defile  in  which  is  a  pool  seven  yards 
square  and  as  deep  as  a  man's  stature.  It  is  regarded  as  a  place  of  great 
sanctity.  Strange  to  say  it  is  dry  during  eleven  months,  but  in  the  Divine 
month  of  TJrdi-bihisht  (April),  water  bubbles  forth  from  two  springs.

First  in  one  comer  of  it  is  a  cavitj  like  a  mortar  called  Sendh  hrdri : 
when  this  becomes  full,  the  spring  rises  in  another,  comer  called  Sai 
rishi.  From  these  two  sources  the  pool  runs  over.  Sometimes  it  boils  np 
for  three  hours,  and  at  times  for  only  a  second.  Then  it  begins  to  decrease 
till  not  a  drop  remains.  At  threo  periods  of  the  daj,  viz.^  morning,  noon 
and  evening,  this  rise  occurs.  Various  flowers  are  thrown  in  as  offerings 
to  either  spring,  and  after  the  reflux  of  the  water,  the  flowers  of  each 
Totarj  are  found  in  their  respectiye  springs.^ 

But  this,  like  the  divining  cup  is  a  contrivance  of  the  ancients  to  se* 
cure  the  devotion  of  the  simple. 

In  this  vicinity  also  is  a  spring,  which  during  six  months  is  dry.  On 
a  stated  day,  the  peasants  flock  to  worship  and  make  appropriatory  offer- 
ings of  a  sheep  or  a  goat.  Water  then  flows  forth  and  irrigates  the  cultiva- 
tion of  five  villages.  If  the  flush  is  in  excess,  they  resort  to  the  same 
supplications,  and  the  stream  subsides  of  its  own  accord.  There  is  also 
another  spring  called  Kokar  Ndg^  the  water  of  which  is  limpid,  cold  and 
wholesome.  Should  a  hungry  person  drink  of  it,  his  hunger  will  be  ap- 
peased,* and  its  satisfaction  in  turn  renews  appetite.  At  a  little  distance, 
in  the  midst  of  a  beautiful  temple,  seven  fountains  excite  the  wonderment 
of  the  beholder.  In  the  summer  time  self-immolating  ascetics  here  heap  ap 
a  large  fire  around  themselves,  and  with  the  utmost  fortitude  suffer  them- 
selves to  be  burnt  to  ashes.  This  they  consider  a  means  of  union  with  the 
Deity.  There  is  also  a  spring  which  produces  touchstone,  and  to  the 
north  of  it  a  lofty  hill  which  contains  an  iron  mine. 

The  village  of  Vej  Brdra,  one  of  the  dependencies  of  rneh  is  a  place 
of  great  sanctity.     It   was  formerly  a  large  city*  and  contained  wonderfol

the  phenomenon  to  the  meltmg  of  the 
mountain  snows  under  the  inflaence 
of  the  san  which  descending  along 
hollows  or  by  snbterranean  passages 
reach  this  cavern  and  boil  np  within 
it.  The  later  ebnllitions  he  conceives, 
are  dne  either  to  the  shade  of  the  trees 
or  the  declining  force  of  the  sun  on 
the  snows.  Bemier's  opinion  is  some- 
what the  same.    Voyages,  II,  293. 

S  Yigne  (I.  889)  on  the  contrary  bears 
testimony  to  its  being  provocative  of 
appetite.      The  spring,   situated   aboat 


2|  miles  from  the  iron  works  at  Sof 
Ahan,  forms  a  stream  eqaal  in  volume 
to  that  of  Yemag  and  f ar  snperior  in

temples.  In  the  vicinitj  is  an  upland  meadow  called  Nandimargy  of  which 
I  know  not  whether  most  to  praise  its  level  sweep  of  mead,  the  loveliness

fields  of  saffron  to  the  extent  of  ten  or  twelve  thousand  bighasy  a  sight  that 
would  enchant  the  most  fastidious.  At  the  close  of  the  month  of  March 
and  during  all  April,  which  is  the  season  of  cultivation,^  the  land  is  plough- 
ed up  and  rendered  soft,  and  each  portion  is  prepared  with  the  spade  for 
planting,  and  the  saffron  bulbs  are  hard  in  the  ground.  In  a  month's  time 
they  sprout  and  at  the  close  of  September,  it  is  at  its  full  growth, 
shooting  up  somewhat  over  a  span.  The  stalk  is  white,  and  when  it  has 
sprouted  to  the  height  of  a  finger,  it  begins  to  flower  one  bud  after 
another  in  succession  till  there  are  eight  flowers  in  bloom.  It  has  six 
lilac-tinted  petals.  IJsuallj  among  six'  filaments,  three  are  yellow  and  three 
mddj.  The  last  three  yield  the  saffron.  When  the  flowers  are  over,  leaves 
appear  upon  the  stalk.    Once  planted  it  will  flower  for  six  years  in  succession.

S  I  am  indebted  to  Dr.  King  for  the 
following  note : 

"  There  are  three  stamens  and  three 
stigmas  in  each  flower.  The  latter 
jield  the  saffron.  The  style  divides  at 
the  level  of  the  anthers  into  three  yellow 


drooping  branches  which  hang  out  of 
the  flower  and  become  gradoally  thicken- 
ed and  tabular  upward,  stigmas  dilated, 
notched  and  often  split  down  one  side, 
dark  orange  coloured.  The  mode  of 
collection  and  preparation  of  safiFron 
varies  in  different  countries,  but  it  con- 
sists essentially  in  removing  the  stigmas 
with  the  upper  part  of  the  style  from 
the  other  parts  of  the  flower  and  after- 
wards drying  the  parts  detached.  A 
not  uncommon  adulteration  of  saffron  is 
made  by  intermixing  the  dyed  stamens 
of  the  saffron  crocus.  It  takes  from 
7000  to  8000  flowers  to  yield  17}  ounces 
of  fresh  saffron  which  by  drying  is  re- 
duced to  8|."  Medicinal  Plants.  Bentley 
and  Trimen,  IV,  274.  In  the  Wa^jit 
i  Jehangiri,  it  is  asserted  that  in  an  ordi- 
nary year,  400  maunds  or  3,200  Khora- 
s&ni  maunds  are  produced.  Half  belongs 
to  Government,  half  to  the  cultivators 
and  a  sir  sells  for  about  10  Bs.  A  note 
states  that  one  good  grain  of  saffron 
contains  the  stigmata  and  styles  of  9 
flowers  i  hence  4,329  flowers  yield  one  oz.

The  first  year,  the  yield  is  small :  in  the  second  as  30  to  10.  In  the  third 
year  it  reaches  its  highest  point  and  the  balbs  are  dug  up.  If  left  in  the 
same  soil,  they  gradually  deteriorate,  but  if  taken  up  they  may  be  profit- 
ably transplanted. 

In  the  village  of  ZdMoan  are  a  spring  and  a  reservoir  which  are  con- 
sidered sacred,  and  it  is  thought  that  the  safEron  seed  came  from  this 
spring.  When  the  cultivation  begins,  they  worship  at  this  fount  and  poor 
cow's  milk  into  it.  If  as  it  &tlls  it  sinks  into  the  water,  it  is  accounted  a 
good  omen  and  the  saffron  crop  will  be  plentiful,  but  if  it  floats  on  the  sur- 
face, it  will  be  otherwise. 

In  the  village  of  E%r%u  360  springs  refresh  the  eye  and  each  of  these 
is  accounted  a  means  of  divine  worship.     Near  this  is  an  iron  mine. 

Maru  Adwin  adjoins  Qreat  Tibet  where  the  Handu  is  found  of  the 
best  breed  and  large  in  size,  and  carries  heavy  burdens.  Near  this  is  a  hill 
called  Ohatar  Kot  on  the  summit  of  which  snakes  are  so  numerous  that  no 
one  can  approach  it.  There  is  also  a  high  hill  difficult  of  ascent,  on  which^ 
is  a  large  lake.  It  is  not  every  one  that  can  find  his  way  to  it,  for  it  often 
disappears  from  sight.  At  the  foot  of  the  mountain  in  different  places 
images  of  MaMdeva  fashioned  of  a  stone  like  crystal  are  found  and  are  a 
source  of  wonder. 

In  the  neighbourhood  of  Achh  Dal,  one  of  the  dependencies  of 
Khatt<^r  is  a  fountain  which  shoots  up  to  the  height  of  a  cubit,  and  is 
scarce  equalled  for  its  coldness,  limpidity  and  refreshing  qualiUes.  The 
sick  that  drink  of  it  and  persevere  in  a  course  of  its  waters,  recover  their 
health. 

In  the  village  of  KoHhdr^  is  a  deep  spring,  surrounded  by  stone  tem- 
ples. When  its  water  decreases,  an  image  of  Mahddeva  in  sandal-wood 
appears.     The  quality  of  this  spring  does  not  alter.

worships  the  sun,  the  cardinal  points  are 
named  with  reference  to  the  East,  as 
para,  the  *  front  *  or  earth,  to  whioh  he 
turns  in  his  daily  morning  worship  ; 
apara,  *  behind*  or  the  West,  Vdma,  the 
•left'  hand  or  North,  And  dakahina,  the 
'right'  hand  or  the  South.  By  the 
Mul^ammadan  who  turns  to  the  West  or 
Mecca,  these  terms  are  reversed,  and 
*  Dachin  *  which  still  means  the  *  right ' 
hand  in  Kashmiri,  is  now  used  to  denote 
the  North  and  Kdwar  on  the  *  left '  to 
denote  the  South  Thus  on  the  Lidar, 
there  is  the  subdivision  of  Dachinpdra 
to  the  west  of  the  stream,  and  Kdwar-

Oreat  Tibet  and  is  fed  by  the  waters  of  the  above-mentioned  spring. 
Between  Oreat  Tibet  and  the  above-mentioned  parganah  is  a  cave  in  which 
is  an  image  in  ice  called  Amar  Nat,  It  is  considered  a  shrine  of  great 
sanctity.  When  the  new  moon  rises  from  her  throne  of  rajs,  a  babble  as 
it  were  of  ice  is  formed  in  the  cave  which  daily  increases  little  by  little 
for  fifteen  days  till  it  is  somewhat  higher  than  two  yards,  of  the  measure  of 
the  yard  determined  by  His  Majesty ;  with  the  waning  moon,  the  image 
likewise  begins  to  decrease,  till  no  trace  of  it  remains  when  the  moon  disap- 
pears. They  believe  it  to  be  the  image  of  Mahddeoa  and  regard  it  as  a  means 
(throngh  supplication)  of  the  fulfilment  of  their  desires.  Near  the  cave 
is  a  rill  called  Amrdoti,  the  clay  of  which  is  extremely  white.  They  account 
it  auspicious  and  smear  themselves  with  it.  The  snows  of  this  mountain- 
ous tract  nowhere  melt,  and  from  the  extreme  cold,  the  straitness  of  the 
defiles  and  the  rough  inequalities  of  the  road,  they  are  surmounted  with 
great  toil. 

In  the  village  of  DakMrnAn  is  a  spring,  and  whenever  its  water  boils 
up  and  becomes  turbid  its  sur^e  is  covered  with  particles  of  straw  and 
rubbish,  the  dust  of  dissension  arises  in  the  country.  A  quarry  of  Solo^ 
men's  stone^  is  in  the  vicinity  of  which  utensils  are  &,shioned. 

About  the  pargatuih  of  Phdk  grow  a  variety  of  herbs  and  plants.  Ad- 
joining is  a  large  lake  called  Dal,  One  side  of  it  is  contiguous  to  the  city 
and  on  its  surface  a  number  of  floating  islands*  are  constructed  which 
are  cultivated,  and  fraudulent  people  will  at  times  cut  o£E  a  piece  and  carry 
it  away  to  a  difEerent  position.  Sulfdn  Zainu'l  4^bidtn  constructed  in 
this  lake  a  causeway  (sad)  of  clay  and  stone  one  kos  in    length  from  the 


Kdwar  to  the  soatb  of  the  stream.  This 
change  in  the  meaning  of  Dachin  from 
south  to  north  mast  have  taken  place 
before  the  time  of  Akbar  as  Abol  Fazl 
describes  Dachinpdra  as  situated  at  the 
pool  of  a  mountain  on  the  side  of  Great 
Tibet,  that  is  to  the  north  of  the  Lidar.

The  Amam&th  cave  is  marked  in 
Drew's  map,  soath-east  of  Baltal  and 
Sonamarg,  near  the  sources  of  the 
Bind  river.  Its  history  and  ceremonies 
are  told  by  Vigne,  II,  8.  The  ice  bubble 
was  doubtless  a  stalactite.  See  Moor- 
croft,  II,  262. 

*  Applied    indiscriminately    to    both 


agate  and  onyx.  Tieffenthaler  describes 
a  stone  of  their  country,  as  green  with 
white  streaks  which  is  worked  with 
diamond  powder  and  made  into  phials, 
saucers,  hafts  of  daggers  and  the  Uke. 
It  is  probably  a  kind  of  jade. 

'  Cucumbers  and  melons  are  com- 
monly grown  on  them.  Their  cons&ruc* 
tion  is  described  by  Moorcroft  (II,  138) 
with  the  thoroughness  which  characterises 
his  obsenrations.  The  causeway  is  called 
by  Vigne,  (II,  99)  Sad  i  Chodri  and  is 
carried  entirely  throngh  the  lake  to  the 
village  of  Isha  Bryri,  four  miles  on  the 
opposite  side.  It  more  resembled  a  line 
of  rashes  than  a  causeway  in  his  day.

drink  and  are  restored  to  health. 

In  the   village  of   Thtd^^  is  a  delightful  spot  where  seven  springs 

unite :    around  them   are  stone  buildings,   memorials    of    bygone    times. 

There  is  also  a  source  which  in  winter  is  warm  and  in  summer  cold. 

In  the  village  of  BdzwaL  is  a  waterfall  from  the  crest  of  8hdhk6t.     It 

is  called   Shdlahmdr,      Here  fish  are  caught  in  numbers.     A  streamlet 

is  caged  at  two  ends  and  when  the  water  is  carried  off,  the  fish  between  are 

taken. 

In  Ishibdrfl  is  a  spring  held  sacred  by  the  people  of  Hindustan, 

called  Surycuar,  surrounded  by  stone  temples.     Shakamdg  is  a  spring 

which  is  dry  all  the  year,  but  should  the   9bh  of  any  month   happen  to 

fall  on  a  Friday,  it  bubbles  up  and  flows  from  mom  till  eve,  and  people 

flock  to  partake  of  its  blessings. 

In  the  village  of  Bambal^  are  a  spring  and  a  pool.     Those  who  have 

special  needs  throw  in  a  nut,  if  it  floats,  it  is  an  augury  of  success  ;  if  it 

sinks,  it  is  considered  adverse. 

In  Bdnihal  is  a  temple  dedicated  to  Durgah,    If  any  one  desires  to  learn 

the  issue  of  a  strife  between  himself  and  his  enemy,  he  fills  two  vessels 
with  boiled  rice,  the  one  representing  his  own  fortunes,  the  other  those  of 
his  foe,  and  places  them  in  the  temple  and  closes  the  doors.  On  the  fol- 
lowing day  the  devotees  present  themselves  to  learn  the  result.  In  whose 
vessel  roses  and  saffron  are  found,  his  undertaking  will  prosper,  and  that 
which  is  full  of  straws  and  dirt,  portends  the  ruin  of  the  person  it  repre- 
sents. Stmnger  still,  in  a  dispute  where  it  is  difficult  to  discover  the 
truth,  each  party  is  given  a  fowl  or  a  goat  and  sent  to  the  temple.  They 
then  poison  each  of  these  animals  and  severally  rub  them  with  their  hands. 
His  animal  whose  cause  is  just  recovers,  and  the  other  dies. 

In  the  Ver  tract  of  country  is  the  source  of  the  Bihat,  It  is  a  pool 
measuring  Skjarib  which  tosses  in  foam  with  an  astonishing  roar,  and  its 
depth  is  unfathomable.  It  goes  by  the  name  of  Vemdg^  and  is  surrounded 
by  a  stone  embankment  and  to  its  east  are  temples  of  stone.  In  the

months  of  the  epring-time  is  in  agitation.     It  is  always  full  and  its  water 
never  decreases. 

In  Devsar  in  the  village  of  Balaa  is  a  pool  called  Balan  Nilg  20 
yards  square  in  which  the  water  is  agitated :  it  is  embosomed  in  delightful 
verdure  and  canopied  bj  shady  trees.  Whosoever  is  desirous  of  knowing^ 
the  prospects  of  the  harvest,  or  whether  his  own  circumstances  are  to  be 
prosperous  or  unfavourable,  fills  an  earthen  vessel  with  rice,  writes  his  name 
on  its  rim,  and  closing  its  mouth,  casts  it  into  the  spring.  After  a  time  the 
vessel  of  its  own  accord  floats  on  the  surface,  and  he  then  opens  it  and  if 
the  rice  be  fragrant  and  warm,  the  year  will  be  prosperous  and  his  under- 
takings successful,  but  if  it  be  filled  with  clay  or  mud  and  rubbish,  the 
reverse  will  be  the  case.* 

Veshau^  is  the  name  of  a  stream  which  issues  picturesquely  from  an 
orifice  in  a  mountain,  and  at  the  same  place  is  a  declivity  down  which  the 
waters  tumble  from  a  height  of  20  yards  with  a  thundering  roar.  Hinda 
devotees  throw  themselves  down  from  its  summit  and  with  the  utmost 
fortitude  sacrifice  their  lives,  in  the  belief  that  it  is  a  means  of  securing 
their  spiritual  welfare. 

Kuthdr^  is  a  spring  which  remains  dry  for  eleven  years,  and  when  the 
planet  Jupiter  enters  the  sign  of  Leo,  it  flows  on  the  following  Thursday 
and  during  the  succeeding  seven  days  is  again  dry  and  once  more  fills  on 
the  Thursday  next  following,  and  so  continues  for  a  year. 

In  the  village  of  Matalhdmah  is  a  wood  in  which  is  a  heronry,^  the 
feathers  are  taken  for  plumes,  and  the  birds  are  here  regularly  fed. 

Near  Shukroh^  is  a  low  hill  on  the  summit  of  which  is  a  fountain  which 
flows  throughout  the  year  and  is  a  place  of  pilgrimage  for  the  devout.  The 
snow  does  not  fall  on  this  spur.

In  Ifdgdm  is  a  spring  called  N^h  Ndg,^  the  basin  of  which  measureB 
40  bigahs.  Its  waters  are  exquisitely  clear  and  it  is  considered  a  sacred  spot, 
and  xnanj  volantarily  perish  by  6re  aboat  its  border.  Strange  to  relate 
omens  are  taken  by  its  means.  A  nnt  is  divided  into  four  parts  and  thrown 
in,  and  if  an  odd  number  fioats,  the  angui'y  is  favourable,  if  otherwise,  the 
reverse.  In  the  same  way  if  milk  (thrown  in)  sinks,  it  is  a  good  omen, 
and  if  not,  it  is  unpropitious.  In  ancient  times  a  volume,  which  they  call 
NUmctt^  arose  from  its  depths,  which  contained  a  detailed  descrip- 
tion of  Kashmir  and  the  history  and  particulars  of  its  temples.  They  say 
that  a  flourishing  city  with  lofty  buildings  is  underneath  its  waters,  and 
that  in  the  time  of  Badu  Shdh,^  a  Brdhman  descended  into  it  and  returned 
after  three  days,  bringing  back  some  of  its  rarities  and  narrated  his  ex- 
periences. 

In  the  village  of  Btrutod  is  a  spring  and  in  its  wat-er  lepers  bathe  early 
on  the  first  day  of  the  week  and  are  restored  to  health.  In  the  vicinity  is  a 
plateau,  a  pasture  ground  for  cattle,  the  grass  of  which  has  peculiar  fatten* 
ing  properties. 

In  the  village  of  Salthal  of  the  parganah  of  ftehh  is  found  a  quivering 
tree.^  If  the  smallest  branch  of  it  be  shaken,  the  whole  tree  becomes 
tremulous. 

Ldr  borders  on  the  mountains  of  Cheat  Tibet,  To  its  north  is  a  lofty 
mountain  which  dominates  all  the  surrounding  country,  and  the  ascent  of 
which  is  arduous.  At  its  foot  are  two  springs,  two  yards  distant  from  each 
other,  the  waters  of  one  being  extremely  cold  and  those  of  the  other 
exceedingly  hot.  They  are  considered  sacred  and  the  bones  of  bodies  are 
here  reduced  to  ashes  :  the  bones  and  ashes  of  the  dead  are  cast  into  a 
large  lake  on  the  mountain  and  this  ceremony  is  regarded  as  a  means  of 
union  with  the  Divinity.     If  the  flesh  of  an  animal  fall  into  it,  a  heavy  fall

of  snow  and  rain  ensues.  The  riyer  called  Bind  wbich  rises  in  Tibet ^  in 
wholesome  to  drink,  and  is  so  clear  that  the  fish  in  it  are  visible.  Thej 
strike  them  with  iron  spears  and  catch  them  also  in  other  ways.  Shahdb* 
u'ddinptir  is  on  the  banks  of  the  Bihat^  and  abont  it  are  large  plane  trees 
which  is  a  favotirite  resort.     The  Bind  joins  the  Bihat  at  this  point. 

In  Tulmuld  is  an  area  of  abont  100  higlias  in  extent  which  is  flooded 
during  the  rains,  and  remains  somewhat  moist  even  after  the  waters  have 
dried  up.  The  people  plunge  in  sticks  of  a  jard  in  length,  more  or  less, 
and  work  them  about,  and  thrusting  their  hands  into  the  holes  pull  out 
fish  of  four  pounds  weight  and  more,  but  commonly  of  small  size. 

In  Satpur  is  a  pool,  the  depth  of  which  cannot  bo  fathomed.  It 
is  held  in  great  veneration  and  is  a  place  of  worship.  Bhuieaar  is  a  temple 
dedicated  to  Mahddeva,  Whoever  approaches  to  pay  his  devotions,  hears 
the  sounds  of  ceremonial  worship  and  no  one  can  tell  whence  they  proceed. 

In  Khoihdma  which  adjoins  Little  Tibet  is  a  large  lake  called  the 
Wular  twenty-eight  kSs  in  circumference.  The  BihcU  flows  into  it  and  its 
course  is  somewhat  lost  to  the  eye.^  Here  Sultan  Zainu'l  Adbidin  built 
a  large  palace  called  Zain  Lanka,  Boats  full  of  stones  and  branches  of  trees 
are  sunk  in  the  lake  and  pulled  up  by  ropes  after  the  lapse  of  three  or  four 
months,  and  many  fish  are  taken  that  have  homed  there.  The  capture 
of  water-fowl  here  affords  considerable  sport,  and  in  the  village  of  Ajas^ 
stags  are  chased  down  to  the  lake  and  taken.  Near  Mdehhdmu  is  an 
island  covered  with  trees  which  when  shaken  by  the  wind,  cause  the  island 
also  to  quake. 

Saffron  is  also  cultivated  in  Paraspur.  It  formerly  held  a  lofty  temple 
which  when  destroyed  by  Sikandar  father  of  Sul^n  Zainu*l  Adbidin^ 
a  copper  tablet  was  discovered  on  which  was  inscribed  in  Sanskrity  that  after 
the  lapse  of  eleven  hundred  years,  one  Sikandar,  would  destroy  it  and 
gather  for  himself  exceeding  great  chastisement.^

oalls  Balndt  probably    a    mistake  for

In  the  Parganah  of  Kamraj^  at  the  village  of  Trahgdm  the  residence 
of  the  Chahs  is  a  foantain  of  sweet  water  called  Ohatamdg  and  in  the  middle 
is  a  stone  building  of  great  age.  The  fish  grow  to  great  size  bat  who- 
soever teaches  them,  is  afflicted  by  some  calamity. 

Near  Kargon  is  a  defile  called  Sdyam^  where  an  area  of  ten  jarihs  of 
land  becomes  so  hot  at  the  time  of  the  conjunction  of  Jupiter  and  Leo  that 
trees  are  burnt  up  and  a  vessel  of  water  if  left  on  the  ground  will  boil. 
A  flourishing  IMtle  town  stands  here.  From  Kamrdj  is  a  defile,  one  end 
of  which  touches  Kdshghar  and  on  the  west  lies  Fakliy  where  gold  is  ob- 
tained in  the  following  manner.  The  skins  of  long-haired  goats  are  spread 
in  the  fords  of  the  river,  with  stones  placed  round  them  that  the  current 
may  not  bear  them  away.  They  are  taken  up  after  three  days  and  lef fc  in 
the  sun.  When  dry,  they  are  shaken,  yielding  their  three  tolahs  weight  of 
gold  dust.  CKlgit  is  the  name  of  another  pass  which  leads  to  Kdshghar. 
Gold  is  there  obtained  by  soil  washings. 

At  two  days'  distance  from  Hdehdmun  is  the  river  named  Padmati 
which  flows  from  the  Ddrdu^  country.     Gold  is  also  found  in  this  river.

II,  266,  n.)  identifies  as  the  Ddradas  of 
Sanskrit  geography,  and  Daradrss  or 
Darad»  of  Strabo.  He  supposes  them 
to  be  the  Kafirs  of  the  Mu^mmadans, 
though  now  nominally  converted  to 
Islam.  The  auriferous  region  of  the 
DiUradas  is  mentioned  by  Humboldt 
(Cosmos  II.  p.  513.  B.  C.  Ott^)  who 
places  it  either  in  the  Thibetian  highlands 
east  of  the  Bolor  chain,  west  of  Iskardo, 
or  towards  the  desert  of  Gobi  described 
also  as  auriferous  by  Hewen  Thsang.

On  its  banks  is  a  stone  temple  called  8drada\  dedicated  to  Durgd,  and 
regarded  with  great  veneration.  On  every  eighth  Hthi  of  Shuhlapaeheh,^ 
it  begins  to  shake  and  prodnoes  the  most  extraordinary  effect. 

The  system  of  revenue  collection  is  by  appraisement  and  division  of 
crops,  assessments  for  crops  paying  special  rates  and  cash  transactions  not 
being  the  cnstom  of  the  country.  Some  part  of  the  Satr  Jxhii^  cesses, 
however,  are  taken  in  cash.  Payments  in  coin  and  kind  were  estimated  in 
kharwdra  of  (Shdli)  rice.  Although  one-third*  had  been  f©r  a  long  time 
past  the  nominal  share  of  the  State,  more  than  two  shares  was  actually 
taken  but  through  His  Majesty's  justice,  it  has  been  reduced  to  one  half. 
According  to  the  assessment  of  J^dzi^  (AH)  the  revenue  was  fixed  at  30 
lakhs,  63,050  kharwdrs,  II  taraks,  each  kharwdr  being  3  man,  8  sSrs  Ak^ 
harshdhi.  A  weight  of  two  dams  is  called  a  pal,  and  ^  and  ^  of  this  weight 
are  also  in  use. 

Seven  and  a  half  pals  are  considered  equivalent  to  one  sSr,  two  sirs 
are  equal  to  half  a  man,  and  four  sSrs  to  a  tarak,  and  sixteen  taraks  to  one 
kJiarwdr.  A  taraJc,  according  to  the  royal  weights  (of  Akbar)  is  eight  sirs. 
Taking  the  prices  current  for  several  years,  the  Kdzi  struck  an  average  of

•  The  immemorial  tradition  in  Kash- 
mir considered  the  whole  of  the  land  as 
the  property  of  the  niler.  Of  some 
portions  of  the  Ichdlsah  lands  the  sover- 
eigns divested  themselves  by  grants  in 
jagir  for  varions  periods.  The  Sikhs 
made  a  general  resumption,  ousted  the 
possessors  of  grants  and  reduced  thou- 
sands to  destitution.  In  Moorcroft's 
time  (II,  125)  the  kh^lsa  lands  were  let 
out  for  cultivation.  Those  near  the  city 
as  Sar  Kishti,  head  or  upper  cultivation, 
those  more  remote  Pai- Kishti,  or  foot 
and  lower.  When  the  grain  was  trod- 
den out,  an  equal  division  took  place 
formerly  between  the  farmer  and  the 
government,  but  the  latter  advanced  its 
demands  like  it  appropriated  |  of  the 


Sar-Kishti  and  f  of  the  P.  K.  crop. 
The  straw  fell  generously  to  the  share 
of  the  cultivator  who  was  also  permitted 
to  steal  a  portion  of  his  own  produce  by 
the  overseer, — for  a  consideration.  In 
the  time  of  Zainu'l  Anbidfn,  the  rice 
crop  (the  staple)  is  said  to  have  been  77 
lakhs  of  hha9•^JodT8,  In  Moorcroft's  day 
it  was  20,  at  from  2}  to  6}  Rs.  a  kharwdr. 
His  weight- measures  diifer  from  those 
of  Abul  Fazl,  a  Jcharwdr  being  16  taraks, 
a  taralc  6  s^ra,  a  sSr  iO  pala^  a  pal  3^ 
Mahomed  Shahi  rupees,  which  (the 
rupee  being  178'3  grains)  should  make 
the  tSr  nearly  2  pounds.  The  actual 
84r  was,  however,  not  above  one  pound 
avoirdupois,  and  a  kharwdr  or  ass-load 
was  therefore  96  pounds.  A  horse-load 
equalled  22  tarths. 

•  See  pp.  847  and  411  of  Vol.  I,  where 
further  information  is  given  regarding 
the  revenue  system,  its  exactions  and  the 
disturbances  which  led  to  the  l^&zi's 
murder.

the  aggregate,  and  the  kJharwdr  (in  kind)  was  ascertained  to  be  29  ddiMf 
and  the  khanvdr  in  monej,  was  fixed  according  to  the  former  rate  of  13^ 
dams.  The  revenne,  therefore,  amounted  to  7  hr&rs,  46  lakhs,  70,411  dams. 
(Rs.  1,866,760-4-5),  out  of  which  9  lakhs,  1,663  kharwdrs  and  8  taraks  were 
paid  in  money,  equivalent  to  1  kr&Ty  20  lakhs,  22, 183  ddms.  (Rs.  300,554-9-2.) 
The  revenue  fixed  by  Apaf  Khan,^  was  30  lakhs,  79,443  kharwdrs,  of  which 
10  lakhs,  11,330^*  kharwdrs  were  in  money.  The  cesses  bdj  and  tamghd,^ 
"w&ce  altogether  jremitted  by  His  Majesty,  which  produced  a  reduction  of 
67,824^  kharwdrs,  equivalent  to  898,400  ddms.  (Rs.  22,460.)  For  the 
additional  relief  of  the  husbandman,  five  ddms  on  the  price  of  a  kharwdr, 
were  thrown  in.  Although  the  revenue,  in  kharwdrs,  of  A§af  Khdn  was 
in  excess  of  that  of  K4zi  ^.li  by  16,392  kharwdrs,  yet  calculated  in  money 
the  receipts  are  less,  after  deducting  the  remissions,  by  860,034^  ddms 
(Rs.  21,500-13-7),  because  he  estimated  the  kharwdr  in  money  which  is  of 
lower  relative  worth,  above  its  value. 

In  the  revenue  returns  forwarded  by  ^dzi  AH  to  the  Imperial  Exche- 
quer, forty-one  parganahs  are  taken  while  the  return  submitted  by  Asaf 
Khdn  contains  but  thirty-eight,  there  being  but  thirty-eight  in  point  of 
fact.  For  ]^azi  Ali  on  a  review  of  the  question  separated  the  two  villages 
Maaifid  and  Ddrdu,  of  the  parganah  of  Kamrdj,  and  dividing  the  parganah 
of  8d%r  %  Mawdzi  into  two,  constituted  these  into  two  parganahs.  In 
former  times  certain  selected  towns  of  ewih  parganah  were  denominated 
Sdiru'l  Mawdzi  (village-group)  and  were  held  as  Khdlisah.*     Kdzi   Ali

their  exact  natnre.  Tamghd  has  been

taxes  in  excess  of  land  revenue,  such  as 
Jihdtt  Bdir  Jihdt,  Farua'dt  and  others 
whose  nature  is  defined  at  p.  58.  Elliot 
discusses  the  value  of  the  terms  at  p.  6,

^rovijicee,  but  he  arrives  at  no  determi- 
nation of  their  special  fiscal  significance. 
The  two  are,  in  several  instances,  found 


coupled  together  when  remissions  of 
taxation  are  mentioned  and  perhaps  they 
were  thus  employed  to  express  all  cesses 
of  whatever  kind  over  and  above  the 
land  revenue.  Tamgha  occurs  later 
under  Kabul,  signifying  inland  tolls.

*  The  lengths  of  reigns  only  are  given 
in  the  original ;  oa^culating  backwards 
from  AUu'ddin,  it  becomes  necessary  to 
curtail  the  reign  of  Hariri ja  (52  years) 
by  about  80  years  to  form  a  natural 
link  with  Wilson's  date  of  Sangr&ma 
D^va. — Prinsep.  I  add  that  the  conclu- 
sion of  this  series  is  incompatible  with 
the  fictions  even  of  Hindu  Chronology, 
and  though  the  intervention  of  18 
Mahammadan    kings  be  conceded,   the 

48 


term  of  four  years  is  an  extremely  undig- 
nified allowance  for  this  royal  proces- 
sion. The  dates  of  the  Mul^ammadan 
kings  is  continued  from  Table  LXXV 
of  the  U.  T,  taken  apparently  from 
Briggs  whose  calculations  are  based  on 
two  dates  given  by  Ferishta,  viz ,  that  of 
Shah  MiVs  arrival  in  Knshmfr  under 
Sinha  D^a,  in  715  (A.  D.  1815)  and 
the  death  of  lUja  Adin  in  747  (1846). 
According  to  Ferishta,  the  latter  was 
succeeded  by  Koiahdevi  who,  after  a 
brief  opposition  to  Shah  Mir,  espoused 
him.  She  was  imprisoned  the  following 
day  and  her  husband  ascended  the 
throne  and  died  after  a  reign  of  tliree 
years.  To  his  son  Jamshid  is  allotted 
1  year  and  2  months.  Allowing  a  year 
for  the  brief  reign  of  the  Rani,  this 
would  give  the  accession  of  Alaa'ddin 
about  A.  D.  1851.  Ferishta  docs  not 
give  separate  dates  to  each  reign  as 
might  be  inferred  from  Briggs'  digest 
of  his  pages..  He  places  the  death  of 
^u^bu'ddm  in  796  (A.  D.  1393) ;  that 
of  Sikandar  the  Iconoclast  in  819  ( 1416). 
AU  Sh&h  in  826  (1422)  and  Zuin  u*l 
Aibidln  in  877  (1472).

When  the  Imperial  standards  were  for  the  first  time  borne  aloft  in 
this  garden  of  perpetual  spring,  a  book  called  Bdj  Tarangini  written  in  the 
Sanskrit  tongue  containing  an  account  of  the  princes  of  Kashmir  during  a 
period  of  some  four  thousand  years,  was  presented  to  His  Majesty.  It 
had  been  the  custom  in  that  country  for  its  rulers  to  employ  certain  learned 
men  in  writing  its  annals.  His  Majesty  who  was  desirous  of  extending 
the  bounds  of  knowledge  appointed  capable  interpreters  in  its  translation 
which  in  a  short  time  was  happily  accomplished.  In  this  work  it  is  stated 
that  the  whole  of  this  mountainous  region  was  submerged  under  water 
and  called  Sati  Sar,  8ati  is  the  name  of  the  wife  of  MaMdeva,  and  Sar 
signifies  a  lake.  One  day  of  Brdhmd  comprises  14  manvantarcis.^  Up  to

as  before  mentioned,^  have  elapsed  and  of  the  twenty-eighth  three  cyeletf^ 
and  of  the  fourth  cycle  4J01  solar  years.  And  when,  according  to  the 
legend  which  they  relate,  the  waters  had  somewhat  subsided,  Kasyapa  who 
is  regarded  as  one  of  the  most  sublime  amongst  ascetics,  brought  in  the 
Brahmans  to  inhabit  the  new  region.*  When  men  began  to  multiply  they 
sought  to  have  a  just  ruler  over  them,  and  experienced  elders,  solicitous 
of  the  public  weal  met  together  in  council  and  elected  to  the  supreme 
authority  one  who  was  distinguished  for  his  wisdom,  his  large  understand- 
ing, his  comprehensive  benevolence  and  his  personal  courage.  From  this 
period  dates  the  origin  of  their  monarchical  government  which  proceeded 
thus  to  the  time  of  Ugnand  4,044  years  prior  to  this  the  40th  year 
of  the  Divine  Era.^  Ugnand  fell  by  the  hand  of  Balbhadra,  the  elder 
brotber  of  Kishan  in  the  battle  fought  at  Mathura  betweau  Kishan  and 
JarasandTia  rajd  of  Beh^r.  Bamddara  (his  son),  to  revenge  his  death  march- 
ed against  some  of  the  relations  of  Kishan  who  were  hastening  to  a  marriage 
festival  in  l^andahdr,  and  was  killed  fighting  on  the  banks  of  the  8ind, 
His  wife  being  then  pregnant  and  the  astrologers  foretelling  that  it  would 
prove  a  son,  Kishan  bestowed  on  him  the  government  of  the  province. 
Thirty-five  princes  succeeded,  but  through  their  tyranny  their  names  are 
no  more  remembered.  When  Lavah  ascended  the  throne,  justice  was  uni- 
versally administered  and  deeds  met  their  just  recognition.  He  founded  in 
Kdmraj  the  great  city  of  Lavapur  the  ruins  of  which  are  still  to  be  traced 
It  is  said  to  have  held  800,000,000  houses.   As  the  sage*  of  Oanjah  well  says : 

Hoase  linked  to  hoase  fnom  Ispahan  to  Rai 

Like  jointed  canes,  I've  hoard,  stretch  ooantlessly. 

So  that  a  oat  might  trace  the  distant  span 

Prom  roof  to  roof  twixt  Rai  and  Ispahan  j 

Bnt  if  the  tale  my  credit  dofch  belio, 

The  teller  is  its  surety,  faith  not  I.

•  According  to  TieffoTithaler,  he  was 
called  "  Cashapmir,  from  Cashapa  grand- 
son of  Brahma  and  -m^r,  a  mountain  or 
hahitation."  Baber  mentions  in  his  Me- 
moirs that  the  hill  country  along  the 
opper  course  of  the  Indus  was  formerly 
inhabited  by  a  race  called  Kds  from  whom 
he  conjectures  that  Kashmir  received  its 
name.  The  Kaaia  regio  of  Plolemy  ap- 
plies to  the  race  and  seems  to  confirm 
his  oonjecture.  Kasyapa  was  the  son 
of  Marichi  the  sou  of  Brahmi,  and  was 


father  of  Vivaswat  the  father  of  Mann. 
His  name  signifies  a  tortoise  which 
form  he  assumed  as  Prajapati,  the 
father  of  all,  and  had  a  large  share  in 
the  work  of  creation.  He  was  one  of 
the  seven  great  Rishis     Dowson.

When  the  succession  devoWed  on  Asoka  the  son  of  Janaka*s  paternal 
nncle,  he  abolished  the  Brahminical  religion  and  .established  the  Jain  &ith.^ 
His  personal  virtues  adorned  his  reign,  and  his  son  Bdjd  Jaloka  was 
distinguished  for  his  justice,  and  his  conquests  were  limited  only  by  the 
ocean.  On  his  return  from  Kanauj^  then  the  capital  of  Hindustan,  he 
brought  with  him  a  number  of  learned  and  enlightened  men  and  of  these 
his  sagacity  and  perception  of  worth  selected  seven  individuals.  To  one 
of  them  he  entrusted  the  administration  of  justice;  to  another  the  revenue 
department ;  to  a  third  the  finances ;  to  a  fourth  the  superintendence  of  th« 
troops ;  the  fifth  took  charge  of  the  department  of  commerce ;  the  sixth 
controlled  the  material  resources  of  the  state,  and  the  seventh  interpreted 
the  mysteries  of  the  stars.  He  had  also  a  knowledge  of  alchemy.  It  is 
said  that  a  huge  serpent  ministered  to  his  commands,  mounted  upon  which 
be  could  descend  below  water  for  a  long  space.  Sometimes  he  appeared  as 
an  old  man,  and  at  other  times,  as  a  youth,  and  marvellous  tales  are  related 
of  him.     Buddhism  became  prevalent  about  this  time. 

Damodar  (II)  is  said  by  some  to  have  been  one  of  the  descendants  of 
Asoka.  He  was  a  pious  devout  prince  but  was  transformed  into  a  snake 
through  the  curse  of  an  ascetic.  In  the  reign  of  Bdjd  Nara  the  Br^hmans 
prevailed  over  the  Buddhists  and  levelled  their  temples  to  the  ground. 
Bdjd  Mihirkal  was  a  shameless  tyrant,  but  by  the  strange  freaks  of  for- 
tune he  made  extensive  conquests.  As  he  was  once  returning  homevrards 
by  the  pass  of  Hastibhanj,  an  elephant  lost  its  footing,  and  its  screama  and 


Taikar,  one  of  the  Khamsah  or  Five  poems 
of  Nizimi.  The  other  four  are  the 
Makhzani  Asrdr,  JTAusrau  tea  Bhirin^ 
Zaila  wa  Majnitn,  and  the  Sikandar 
Ndmah,  Some  copies  have  the  Khirad 
Nimah  (Aristotle's  instmctions  to  Alex- 
ander) instead  of  the  Haft  Faihar. 

I  The  origin,  history  and  sects  of  the 
Jains  are  sketched  in  H.  G.  Briggs'  Cities 
of  Gujarashtara.  Prof.  Wilson  remarks 
that  their  faith  was  introduced  into  the 
peninsula  about  the  7th  century  A.  D. ; 
Col.-  Sykes  thinks  about  the  4th.  It  is 
closely  allied  to  Buddhism,  though  the 
Jains  assert  it  to  be  long  anterior.  Sir 
W.  Hunter  defines  Jainism  as  Buddhism 
equipped  with  a  mythology  of  saints  and 
narrowed  in  its  practical  aspects  from  a 


national  religion  to  suit  the  exclusive 
requirements  of  a  sect.  According  to 
one  view,  the  Jains  are  a  remnant  of  the 
Indian  Buddhists  who  saved  themselves 
from  extinction  by  oompromises  with 
Hinduism  and  erected  themselves  into 
a  separate  caste.  Another  view  repre- 
sents them  as  the  unbroken  succession 
of  the  Nigantha  sect  of  the  Asoka 
edicts.  The  Buddhism  of  Asoka  (244 
B.  C.)  is  said  to  be  a  later  product  than 
the  Jain  doctrines.  The  I.  G.  refers  to 
the  modem  literature  of  the  snbjeot  in 
Mr.  Ed.  Thomas'  Jainism  or  the  Earlp 
faith  of  Asoka,  Mr.  Bhys  David's  article 
in  The  Academy  of  18th  Sept.  1879 ;  and 
Numismata  Oi-ientala  (Ceylon  fasoioalas)

manner  of  &lling  caused  him  such  amusement  that  he  ordered  a  handred  ele- 
phants to  be  precipitated  in  a  similar  manner.  From  this  circumstance  the 
pass  received  its  name  hasti  signifying  elephant,  and  bhanj,^  injury.  Daring 
his  reign,  a  large  rook  blocked  up  the  ferry  of  a  river,  and,  however  much 
it  was  cut  away,  it  yet  increased  again  during  the  night  to  its  ordinary 
dimensioos.  Remedies  were  proposed  in  vain.  At  length  a  voice  came 
forth  intimating  that  if  touched  by  the  hand  of  a  chaste  woman,  the  rock 
would  displace  itself.  Time  after  time  it  was  touched  by  women  in  soc- 
ceasion,  and  when  no  effect  was  produced,  he  ordered  the  women  to  be  put 
to  death  for  incontinence,  the  children  for  bastardy,  and  the  husbands  for 
consenting  to  the  evil,  until  three  krors  of  human  beings  were  massacred. 
The  miracle  was  at  length  effected  by  the  hand  of  a  chaste  woman,  a  potter 
by  trade  and  caused  great  wonder.  The  Bajd  being  afflicted  by  various 
diseases,  burnt  himself  to  death. 

Bdjd  QopaMt  possessed  considerable  learning  and  his  justice  in- 
creased the  extent  of  his  sway.  The  slaughtering  of  animals  was  forbidden 
throughout  his  domiuions  and  high  and  low  abstained  from  eating  flesh. 
The  temple  which  now  stands  on  Solomon^s  Hill  was  built  by  his  minister. 

Bdjd  Jf4di$hthira  in  the  beginning  of  his  rule  administered  the  state 
with  an  impartial  hand,  but  in  a  short  space  through  his  licentious  con- 
duct and  intimacy  with  base  associates,  his  subjects  became  extranged  from 
him,  and  the  kings  of  Hindust&n  and  Tibet  were  arrayed  against  him. 
The  chiefs  of  Kashmir  threw  him  into  prison. 

During  the  reign  of  Bdjd  Tanjir  (Banjir)  snow  fell  when  the  sun  was 
in  Leo  (July,  August).  The  crops  were  destroyed  and  a  terrible  famine 
threw  the  country  into  disorder. 

Bdjd  Jayandra  possessed  a  minister  wise,  loyal  and  virtuous,  and 
Toid  of  levity  and  dissimulation.  His  equals  bore  him  envy  and  the  wick- 
ed at  heart  but  specious  in  appearance  sought  his  ruin  and  undermined  his 
influence  bj  underhand  misrepresentations.  As  princes  are  on  these  occa- 
sions apt  to  eiT  and  do  not  investigate  closely,  forgetful  of  former  ex- 
periences   of    what  envy   can  effect,  the  minister  was  overthrown,   and

baDished  iu  disgrace.  His  strange  destiny,  however,  did  not  deprive  him 
of  his  composure.  He  allowed  not  grief  to  encompass  him,  but  gladdened 
his  days  with  cheerfulness  of  heai't.  His  wicked  enemies  represented  him 
as  aiming  at  the  throne,  and  the  Bdjd,  ignorant  of  the  real  facts,  ordered 
him  to  be  impaled.  After  some  time  had  elapsed,  his  spiritual  preceptor 
happened  to  pass  that  way  and  read  on  the  frontal  bone  of  his  skull  that 
he  was  destined  to  disgrace  and  imprisonment  and  to  be  impaled,  but  that 
he  should  again  come  to  life  and  obtain  the  sovereignty.  Amazed  at  learn- 
ing this,  he  took  down  the  body  and  secretly  kept  it  and  continued  in 
supplication  to  the  Almighty.  One  night  the  spirits  gathered  round  and 
by  their  incantations  restored  the  corpse  to  life.  In  a  short  time  he  sue-  • 
ceeded  to  the  throne,  but  his  experience  of  life  soon  induced  him  to  with- 
draw into  retirement. 

Megavdhan  was  renowned  for  his  virtues  and  gave  peace  and  security 
to  Hindustan  as  far  as  the  borders  of  the  ocean.  After  the  death  of  Riijd 
Hiran  without  issue,  the  chiefs  of  Kashmir  paid  allegiance  to  Rdjd 
Btkramdjit  the  ruler  of  Hindustan.  Mujd  Matrigupta  was  a  learned 
Kashmiri  Brdhman.  Bikramdjit  profited  by  his  wisdom  but  did  not  advance 
his  temporal  interests.  He,  however,  gave  him  a  sealed  letter  to  convey 
to  Kashmir  and  furnishing  him  with  a  small  sum  of  money  for  his  expenses 
as  he  started,  despatched  him  on  his  mission.  The  Brahman  set  out  with 
a  heavy  heart.  On  his  arrival  in  Kashmir,  the  letter  was  opened.  It  ran 
thus.  *  The  bearer  has  rendered  important  services  at  my  Court  and  has 
experienced  many  reverses  of  fortune.  On  the  receipt  of  this  letter,  let 
the  government  of  the  country  be  entrusted  to  him,  and  be  this  mandate 
obeyed  under  fear  of  the  royal  displeasure.'  The  chiefs  met  in  council  and 
.yielded  their  submission. 

B'ijd  Pravarasina  had  withdrawn  from  the  country  and  lived  in  re- 
tirement in  Hindustan.  A  devout  and  enlightened  servant  of  God  pre- 
dicted to  him  the  good  tidings  of  his  future  elevation  to  a  throne.  On 
the  faith  of  this,  he  went  to  Nagarkdt  and  possessed  himself  of  that  place. 
On  hearing  of  the  death  of  Bikramdjit,  Matrigupta  abdicated  and  setting  out 
for  Benares  lived  in  seclusion.  PravarasSna  was  universally  distinguished 
for  his  justice  and   liberality.     He    founded    Sriuagar^   the   capital  of    the

erection  of  Pravaras^napnra  ia  stated  to

the  bank  of  the  river  from  the  foot  of

tance of  more  than  three  miles.  It  was 
still  the  capital  iu  the  reign  of  Pravara-

country  and  rendered  it  populous  during  his  reign  with  600,000  houses. 
With  surpassing  munificence  he  sent  to  Mdtrigupta  the  aggregate  of  eleven 
years'  revenue  of  Kashmir  which  that  personage  bestowed  upon  the  indigent. 
Bdjd  Randdilya  was  a  just  prince  and  made  many  conquests.  In  the  neigh- 
bourhood of  Kishtawiir  near  the  river  Ohenab,  he  entered  a  cave  with  all 
his  family  and  many  of  his  courtiers,  and  was  seen  no  more ;  many  strange 
legends  are  related  regarding  him.  Bdjd  Bdldditya  invaded  Hindustan  and 
extended  his  dominions  to > the  borders  of  the  sea. 

In  the  reign  of  Itdjd  Ghandrajpifa  the  wife  of  a  Brdhman  appeared 
to  him  claiming  justice,  saying,  that  her  husband  had  been  killed  and  the 
murderer  was  undiscovered.  He  asked  her  if  she  suspected  any  ono,  to 
wliich  she  replied  that  her  husband  was  of  an  amiable  disposition  and  had 
no  enemy,  but  that  he  often  had  disputations  on  points  of  philosophy 
with  a  certain  person  This  man  was  brought  up  but  strenuously  denied 
the  accusation,  and  the  complainant  would  not  accept  an  ordeal  by  fire  or 
water  lest  the  man  should  employ  some  supernatural  means  of  escaping  it. 
The  R^ja  in  his  perplexity  could  neither  eat  nor  sleep.  An  enlightened 
eage  appearing  to  him  in  a  vision  taught  him  an  incantation  to  be  uttered 
over  rice- meal  scattered  about,  upon  which  the  suspected  person  was  to 
walk.  If  the  footsteps  of  two  people  were  observed  as  he  passed  over  it,  he 
was  not  to  be  suffered  to  escape.  Through  this  suggestion  the  truth  was 
discovered  and  punishment  duly  meted  out.  But  as  a  Brdhman  could  not 
be  put  to  death,  an  iron  image  of  a  man  without  a  head  was  made  and  his 
forehead  branded  therewith. 

Rdjd  LcUitdditya  devoted  himself  to  the  prosperity  of  his  kingdom  and 
in  the  strength  of  the  divine  aid  overran  Irdn,  Turan,  Fars,  Hindustan, 
Eha^a,  and  the  whole  habitable  globe,  and  administered  his  dominions  with 
justice.  He  died  in  the  mountains  of  the  north,  and  it  is  said  that  he  was 
turned  into  stone  by  the  curse  of  an  ascetic,  but  others  relate  the  story 
differently. 

Bdjd  Jaydpira  reached  a  lofty  pitch  of  glory  and  his  conquests  were 
extensive.  Ninety-nino  thousand  nine  hundred  and  ninety- nine  horses 
were  bestowed  by  him  in  charity  at  Benares,  and  liis  gifts  to  the  poor  were 
on  the  same  munificent  scale.  He  asked  of  the  elders  whether  the  army  of 
his  grandfather  Lalitaditya  or  his  own  were  the  larger.     They  answered  that

his  contained  bat  80,000  litters,  whereas  126,000  of  such  conveyances  were 
arrayed  under  his  grandfather's  standard,  by  which  proportion  he  might 
judge  of  the  numerical  strength  of  his  other  retinue.  When  he  had  pro- 
ceeded some  distance  on  his  march  of  conquest,  his  brother-in-law,  Jajja^ 
who  was  in  Kashmir  disputed  the  throne.  The  nobles  of  the  king,  in 
anxious  fear  for  their  wives  and  children,  betrayed  him  and  preferred 
their  outward  reputation  before  their  true  honour.  The  Rdja  hastened 
alone  to  Bengal,  and  with  the  aid  of  troops  from  that  country,  repossessed 
himself  of  his  kingdom,  Jajja  being  slain  in  battle. 

Bdjd  Lalitdpifa  took  low  companions  into  favour  and  associated  with 
buffoons,  and  his  wise  councillors  withdrew  from  the  court.  His  minister 
finding  remonstrance  of  no  avail,  retired  from  office. 

Bdjd  Sankar  Vantid  conquered  Gujardt  and  Sind,  and  overran  the 
Deccan,  but  left  it  in  the  possession  of  its  ruler.  Although  in  the  begin- 
ning of  his  reign  he  followed  a  virtuous  course,  he  lacked  perseverance. 
The  intoxication  of  worldly  prosperity  plunged  him  into  every  vice. 

During  the  reign  of  Bdjd  Jasaskardeva,  a  Bi'dhman  lost  a  purse  of  a 
hundred  gold  mohurs.  Under  the  impulse  of  violent  grief  he  resolved  to 
make  away  with  himself.  The  thief  hearing  of  this,  asked  him  how  much 
he  would  be  satisfied  to  take,  if  he  discovered  the  purse.  The  Brahman 
answered,  "  Whatever  you  please."  The  thief  ofEered  him  ten  mohurs.  The 
Br&hman,  sore  at  heart,  appealed  to  the  Braja  who  inquired  into  the  case, 
and  sending  for  the  thief  ordered  him  to  restore  ninety  mohurs^  intending 
by  this,  that  the  amount  the  thief  desired  to  keep  for  himself,  should  be  the 
portion  of  the  Br&hman. 

In  the  reign  of "  Sinhadeva^  a  Mu^mmadan  named  Shih  Amir  who 
traced  his  descent  to  Arjnn  the  Pandava  was  in  the  royal  service.  About 
this  time  Dalju  the  chief  commander  under  the  king  of  ^andah&r, 
attacked  and  plundered  the  kingdom.  The  Bdjd  took  refuge  in  the 
mountain  passes  and  levied  forcible  contributions  on  the  people,  and  sent 
them  to  him  and  entreated  him  as  a  supplicant.  The  invader  withdrew, 
dreading  the  severity  of  the  weather,  and  many  of  his  troops  perished 
in  the  snow.  About  the  same  time  also,  Binjan^  the  son  of  the  ruler  of 
Tibet  invaded  the  country  which  was  reduced  to  great  distress.  On  the 
death  of  the  Bij4,  the  sovereignty  devolved  on  Binjan  who  was  distin- 
guished for  his  munificence.  He  appointed  Shah  Mir  his  minister  whose 
religion,  through  intimacy  and  association  with  him,  he  eventually 
adopted. 

When  Bdjd  Adindeva  died,  the  aforesaid  Sh&h  Mir  by  specious  flat- 
tery and  intriguing,  married  his  widow.     In  the  year  742,  A  H.   (1341-2,

A.  D.)  he  caused  the  hhuthah  to  be  read,  and  the  coin  to  be  minted  in 
his  own  name  and  assumed  the  title  of  Shamsu^ddin  and  levied  a  tax  of 
one-sixth  on  all  imports  into  Kashmir.  It  had  been  revealed  to  him  in  a 
dream  that  he  would  obtain  the  sovereignty  of  the  kingdom.^ 

Salfdn  Aldu'ddln  issued  an  ordinance  that  an  unchaste  woman  should 
not  inherit  of  her  husband. 

Stdfdn  Shahdbuddin  encouraged  learning  and  proclaimed  an  equal 
administration  of  the  laws.  Nagarkdt,  Tibet  and  other  places  were  over- 
mn  by  him. 

During  the  reign  of  Sulfdn  Kuthu*dd(n  Mir  Sayyid  iJLli  Hamaddni 
arrived  in  Kashmir  and  was  received  with  great  favour. 

Sulfdn  Bikcmdar  was  a  rigid  follower  of  religious  tradition  and  a  bi- 
got.  He  overthrew  idolatrous  shrines  and  persecuted  people  not  of  his 
faith.  During  his  reign,  Timdr  invaded  Hindustdn  and  sent  him  two 
elephants.  Sikandar  desired  to  pay  his  homage  to  that  conqueror,  but  on 
his  road  to  the  interview  he  learnt  that  it  was  reported  in  Tlmtir's  camp 
that  the  sovereign  of  Kashmir  was  bringing  with  him  a  present  of  a  thou- 
sand horses.  Concerned  at  the  untruthfulness  of  this  rumour  he  returned 
and  sent  his  excuses.*  AH  Sh6h  appointed  (his  brother)  Zainu'l  Adbidin 
regent  in  his  stead  and  set  out  for  Hijdz.  By  the  persuasion  of  foolish 
B^nd  evil  advi6ers^  and  through  inconstancy  of  purpose,  he  returned  with 
the  view  of  recovering  his  authority  in  Kashmir  and  aided  by  the  Rajd 
of  Jammu  he  took  possession  of  the  kingdom.     Zainu'l  A^bidin  set  out  for 


*  Saoh  is  the  literal  translation  ac- 
cording to  the  panctaation  of  the  text 
which  I  Buspect  is  in  error.  Ferishta 
states  that  Shamsu'ddin  abolished  the 
exactions  of  his  predecessors  and  having 
repaired  the  ruin,  caused  by  the  inva- 
sion and  exactions  of  DaljUf  by  written 
orders  fixed  the  revenue  at  Jth  of  the 
produce.  The  readings  of  Gladwin  and 
the  8.  al  M.  here  complete  the  sentence 
and  continue,  that  before  he  came  to 
Kashmir,  it  was  revealed  to  him  in  a 
dream  that  he  should  obtain  the  king- 
dom. I  have  little  doubt  that  this  is  the 
correct  division  of  the  sentences.  A  full 
stop  should  follow  •i^  and  ^^1j\ 
should  be  preceded  by  the  word  U^ 
inadvertently  omitted,  but  retained   by 


Gladwin  and  S.  ul  M.  The  text  would 
then  run  as  follows  *'  Assumed  the  title 
of  Shamsu'ddin  and  fixed  the  revenue

arrival  in  Kashmir,  it  had  boea  revealed

with  detail,  somewhat  curtailed  by 
Briggs.

father-in-law  the  Jammu  Rdjd,  and  the 
chief  of  Rm'auri,  who  dissuaded  him  from 
abandoning  his  authority  and  abdicating 
in  favour  of  his  brother.  Finding  that 
without  their  help,  his  restoration  could 
not  be  effected  thoy  reinstated  him  by

a  large  armj  advanced  into  the  Pnnjdb  and  a  great  battle  took  place  in 
which  i^li  Shah  was  defeated  and  fell  into  obscurity  while  Zainul  Adbidin 
recovered  the  sovereignty  of  Kashmir.  Jasrat  leaving  Kashmir  advanced 
against  Delhi  but  defeated  by  Sul^n  Bahlol  Lodi  retreated  to  Kashmir 
and  with  the  assistance  of  an  ai*my  from  its  monarch,  conqaered  the 
Panjab. 

Zainn*l  Adbidin  overran  Tibet  and  Sind.  He  was  a  wise  prince, 
devoted  to  philosophical  studies  and  it  was  his  fortune  to  enjoy  universal 
peace.  He  was  regarded  by  high  and  low  as  a  special  servant  of  Qod  and 
venerated  as  a  saint.  He  was  credited  with  the  power  of  divesting  himself 
of  his  corporeal  form,  and  he  foretold  that  under  the  dynaaty  of  the  Chdks^ 
the  sovereignty  of  Kashmir  would  be  transferred  from  that  fiamily  to  the 
monarchs  of  Hindustan,  which  prediction  after  a  period  of  years  was  ac- 
complished. His  benevolence  and  love  of  his  people  induced  him  to  abo- 
lish the  capitation  tax  {levied  on  other  than  Muslims)  and  to  prohibit  the 
slaughtering  of  cows,  as  well  as  penalties  and  presents  of  all  kinds.  He 
added  somewhat  to  the  measure  of  the  Jarib.  His  private  revenues  were 
drawn  from  copper  mines.  He  often  personally  administered  medicinal 
remedies*  and  resolved  all  difficult  undertakings  with  ease.  Robbers  were 
employed  in  chained  gangs  on  public  works.  His  gentleness  of  disposition 
dissuaded  men  from  the  pursuit  of  game,  and  he  himself  eat  no  flesh  meat. 
He  caused  many  works  to  be  translated  from  the  Arabic,  Persian, 
Kashmiri  and  Sanskrit  languages.  During  his  reign  musicians  from  Persia 
and  Turkestan   flocked   to  his  court ;  among  them  Mulla  IJudi  the  imme-

who,  according  to  one  account  was  taken 
prisoner  by  Jasrat,  and  to  another  was 
expelled  from  Kashmir  by  his  snccessfnl 
brother.  Mention  of  Jasrat  oocars  in 
Ferishta  nnder  Bahlol  Lodi,  and  Zainn'l 
Ailbidfn,  he  says,  on  his  accession  fitted 
oat  an  army  nnder  Jasrat  for  the  con- 
quest of  Delhi  and  the  Punjdb.  Unable 
to  cope  with  Bahlol  Lodi  at  Delhi,  he, 
however,  possessed  himself  of  the 
Punjab.  This  freebooter  g^ave  consider- 
able trouble  to  the  Sayyid  dynasty  and 


held  his  own  against  Bahlol  Lodi  when 
that  chief  governed  Multan  under  Sayyid 
Muhammad.  See  Vol.  I,  456,  n.  for  the 
Gakkhars  (as  it  is  there  spelt)  and  the 
reference  to  Delmerick's  history  of  this 
tribe. 

•  Ferishta  says  that  for  the  en- 
couragement of  the  study  of  medicine, 
he  specially  favoured  Sri  Bhat  an  emi- 
nent physician,  by  whose  advice,  the 
Br&hmans,  expelled  under  Sikander  the 
Ironoclast,  were  recalled.  Briggs  has 
been  too  sparing  in  his  extracts  of  this 
reign  of  the  most  celebrated  among  Mos- 
lem monarchs  of  Kashmir.  Wearied 
with  his  long  task,  the  gaps  are  greater 
as  he  approaches  its  completion.

Shi{is  in  this  country. 

During  the  third  reign  of  Muhammad  8hdh  when  he  recovered  the 
kingdom  by  the  help  of  Sul^dn  Sikandar  (Lodi  of  Delhi),  B4ber  invaded

Muhammad  Shnh  for  the  fonrth  time,  the  emperor  Hamiytjn  ascended 
the  throne  of  Delhi,  and  when  Mirzd  Kdrndln^  was  at  Lahor,  the  officers 
formerly  despatched  to  Kashmir  (AH  Beg  and  Muhammad  Eh4n)  per- 
suaded him  that  Kashmir  could  be  taken  with  little  trouble.*  The  Mirzi 
therefore,  despatched  Marram  (Beg)  Kpkah  with  a  body  of  troops  to  that 
country  which  they  occupied.  Massacres  were  frequent  and  their  intolera- 
ble tyranny  drove  the  people  to  rise  till  the  Mughal  chiefs  sued  for  terms 
and  withdrew.  In  the  year  A.  H.  930,  (1523-4)  by  command  of  Sultan 
Said  Khdn  of  Kdshghar,  his  son  Sikandar  Khin  and  Mirz4  Haidar*  ad- 
vanced into  Kashmir  at  the  head  of  10,000  troops  by  way  of  Tibet  and  Lar, 
and  taking  an  enormous  booty  retired  after  a  short  time  under  terms  of 
peace.  In  the  year  A.  H.  948  (1541-2)  Mirza  Haidar,  by  command  of  Ha- 
mdytin  a  second  time  entered  Kashmir,  guided  by  some  of  the  natives  of  that 
country,  as  has  been  related  in  former  accounts,  and  took  possession  of  a 
part  of  Great  Tibet.  K4ji  Cbak  came  to  Hindustan  and  bringing  with 
him  the  aid  of  an  army  from  Sher  Khdn,  engaged  Mirz^  Haidar  but  was 
defeated.  The  Mirz^  won  over  the  Kashmiris  by  peaceful  and  conciliatory 
measures,  so  that  he  succeeded  in  having  the  Khuthah  read  and  the  coin 
minted  in  the  name  of  Humiiytin,  the  Kashmiris  having  previously  read

perpetually  on  these  mountains  and  at  times  falls  on  the  plaius.^  The 
period  of  winter  is  longer  than  the  summer.  The  rainfall  is  somewhat 
similar  to  Hindustan.  It  is  watered  by  three  rivers,  the  Kishan  Oanga^ 
the  Bihat  and  the  Sindh,  The  language  of  the  country  dilEers  from  that

to  plant  fruit  trees.  Game  and  horses,  camels  and  buffaloes  are  of  middling 
account :  goats  and  poultry,  plentiful.  The  rulers  of  this  district  generally 
paid  tribute  to  EZashmir. 

Sarkdrof  Satvdd  (Siodt). 

It  comprises  three  districts,  those  of  Bimbar,  Stodt  and  Bajaur,  The 
first  is  16  kos  long  by  12  broad  and  is  bounded  by  Pakli  on  the  east,  Kator 
and  Kdshghar^  on  the  north,  Afak  Benares  on  the  south  and  8wdt  on  the 
west.  Two  roads  approach  it  from  Hindustan,  viz.f  the  Sherkhdnt^  pass 
and  the  Balandart*  Kotal ;  although  both  routes  are  difficult  to  traverse, 
the  first  is  the  more  rugged. 

The  second  district  (Sw^t)  is  40  Jeds  in  length  by  5  to  15  in  breadth. 
On  the  east  lies  Bimhar ;  to  the  north  Katdr  (Kunar)  and  Kdshghar ; 
to  the  south  Bigrdm^  and  on  the  west  Bajaur,  It  possesses  many  defiles. 
Near  the   Damghdr^  pass  which  leads  to  Kdshghar  is  the  town  of  Mangldr^ 


many  with  a  Oakar,  a  practice  repog- 
naot  to  HindoiBin  which  permits  no  man 
to  marry  one  of  his  own  tribe.  They 
also  oocnpj  several  portions  of  the  E. 
Dodb,  as  Goliilna  near  Gnjar  Kh&n,  and 
Bogiil  nnder  the  lofty  hill  of  Balnith.

( Biter's  Memoirs)  is  a  corruption  of 
Kashghar  with  the  territory  of  which  it 
was  long  included,     the    name  having 


survived  the  dominion.  The  Kaaia  or

the  residence  of  the  governor.  It  is  entered  by  two  rontes  from  Hindastan, 
tiz.,  the  passes  of  Malkand  Baj^  and  Sherkhdnah.  It  has  no  extremes  of 
heat  or  cold,  and  though  snow  falls,  it  does  not  lie  in  the  plains  for  more 
than  three  or  four  days ;  in  the  mountains  it  is  perpetual.  It  is  spring- 
time here  during  the  peiiodical  rains  of  Hindustan.  Rainfall  occurs  and 
the  spring  and  autumn  are  very  delightful.  Its  flora  are  those  of  Tur- 
kestan and  India,  wild  violets  and  narcissus  covering  the  meadows,  and 
various  kinds  of  fruit  trees  grow  wild.  Peaches  and  pears  are  excellent, 
and  fine  hawks  and  falcons  are  obtained.     It  also  possesses  an  iron  mine. 

The  third  district  (Bajaur)  is  25  kos  in  length  by  5  to  10  in  breadth. 
On  the  east  lies  8wdt,  on  the  north  Kator  and  Kdshghar,  on  the  south 
Bigrdmy  and  on  the  west  Kuner  (and)  Ndrkil.^    Numerous  passes  lead  from 

Kabul. 

An  ancient  mausoleum*  exists  here,  and  there  is  a  strong  fortress 
which  is  said  to  be  the  residence  of  the  governor.  Amir  Sayyid  Ali 
HamadAni  died  here  and  his  body  was  conveyed  to  Kkutldn*  by  his  last 
testament.  Its  climate  is  similar  to  that  of  Swat,  bat  the  extremes  of  cold 
and  heat  are  gi-eater.  It  has  only  three  roads,  one  from  Hindustan 
called  Ddnishkoh  and  two  from  Kabul,  one  called  Samaj  and  the  other 
Kuner  and  Nurkil,  the  easiest  of  these  being  Bdnishkol.  Adjoining  this 
and  between  the  mountains  and  the  Indus  and  Kabul  rivers,  is  a  plain,  30 
kos  in  length  by  20  to  25  kos  in  breadth. 

The  whole  of  this  tract  of  hill  and  plain  is  the  domain  of  the  Yusufzai

Grain  is  for  the  most  part  taken  in  kharwdrs,  the  kharwdr  being 
equivalent  to  40  ^andahiri  man,  or  10  of  Hindustan. 

The  capital  of  the  district  is  Eiandahdr.  Its  longitude  is  107^^  40', 
and  the  latitude  33^  40'.  It  has  two  forts.  The  summer  heats  are  ex- 
treme and  the  cold  in  winter  is  inconsiderable,  but  the  ice-pits  are  filled  in 
December  and  January.  Once  in  three  or  four  years  a  fall  of  snow  occurs 
and  is  hailed  with  delight.  Flowers  and  fruits  are  in  abundance.  Its 
wheat  is  extremely  white,  and  is  sent  as  a  present  of  value  to  distant 
countries.  At  a  distance  of  five  hSs  is  a  hill  called  Aehdarkoh  (the  Dragon 
Hill)  in  which  is  a  wonderful  cave  known  as  the  Cave  of  Jamshtd,  People 
enter  with  lighted  lamps,  but  the  oppression  of  its  atmosphere  prevents  ex- 
ploration of  its  extent.  Eight  kSs  from  Kdldt  is  a  large  mountain  in  the 
side  of  which  is  a  huge  cave  called  Ohdr  %  Shdh  (the  King's  Cave). 
Within  it  are  two  natural  columns,  one  of  which  touches  the  roof  of  the 
cave  and  is  30  yards  high.  Water  flows  down  it  and  enters  a  basin  at  its 
foot.  The  other  is  11  yards  in  height.  The  waters  of  the  Hirmand 
(Helmand)  which  rises  between  Balkh,  and  Kabul,  flow  in  this  direction 
along  the  skirts*  of  the  mountains.  The  meaning  of  Hirmand  is  '  abound- 
ing in  blessings.'  Mauldnd  Mtdnu*ddtn  in  his  history  of  Khur£s&n  records 
that  it  feeds  a  thousand  streams.  At  a  distance  of  16  kos  is  a  mountain, 
at  the  base  of  which  is  an  area  of  land  called  Nattl^^  formerly  full  of  water- 
courses, where  melons  are  grown  in  great  quantity  and  perfection.  The 
mountain  has  sevei^al  clear  springs.  There  is  also  an  iron-mine,  and  at  the 
foot  of  the  mountain  is  an  iron-foundry  for  the  smelting  of  the  ore,  a  work 
of  ancient  times.

east  by  Hindustan ;  on  the  north-west  by  the  mountains  and  Gh6r ;  be- 
tween to  the  north  lies  Anderdb  of  Badakshdn,  the  Hindu  koh  intervening  ; 
on  the  south  by  Farmul  and  Naghr.  Adequate  praise  of  it<^  climate  is 
beyond  the  power  of  pen  to  express,  and  although  its  winter  is  severe  rather 
than  moderate,  it  occasions  no  distress.  The  torrid  and  cold  belts  are  so 
contiguous  that  the  transition  may  be  made  from  one  to  the  other  in  a 
single  day.  Such  approximation  of  summer  and  winter  pasturage  in  an 
inhabited  country  is  uncommon.  Snow  falls  both  in  the  plains  and  on  the 
mountains ;  in  the  former  from  November  and  on  the  latter  from  September : 
Baber  states  that  the  snowfall  in  the  direction  of  Uindustdn  does  not  pass 
the  crest  of  the  Bdddtn  Ohashmah.^  This  doubtless  was  the  case  in  those 
days,  but  at  the  present  time  it  extends  to  the  crest  of  the  Nimlahy  and 
indeed  as  far  as  the  Khaihar  pass.  Even  in  summer  time  covering  is  need- 
ed during  the  nights.  There  are  various  delightful  fruits,  but  the  melons 
are  not  so  good.*  Agriculture  is  not  very  prosperous.  The  country  is 
surrounded  on  all  sides  by  lofty  mountains,  so  that  the  sudden  invasion  of 
an  enemy  is  attended  with  extreme  difficulty. 

The  Hindu  koh  separates  K&bul  from  Badakshdn  and  Balkh,  and 
seven  routes  are  employed  by  the  people  of  Turdn  in  their  marches  to  and 
fro.  Three  are  by  the  Panjhir^  (valley),  the  highest  of  which  is  over  the 
Khawdk  pass ;  below  this  is  Tal,  and  the  next  lower  in  succession,  Bdzdrak. 


Ploh,  a  district  of  Kiifiristin,  falls  into 
it.  Naghr  is  sometimes  written  Naghz. 
It  is  now  unknown  bat  Erskine  conjeo- 
tnres  it  to  have  been  on  the  upper  course 
of  the  Kurram,  and  Farmul  probably 
Urgh^n  where  the  Persian  race  of 
Farmulis  still  exist.  Niamatu'llah 
(Dom's  History  of  the  Afghans,  p.  57) 
says  that  Farmul  was  originally  the 
name  of  a  river  running  between  the 
borders  of  K&bnl  and  Ghazni  and  the 
dwellers  on  its  banks  were  called 
Farmulis.  See  Elphinstone's  G&bul, 
p.  816  for  a  fuller  account  of  this  divi- 
sk>a  of  the  Tajiks. 

^  The  pass  of  B&d&m  Ohashmah  lies 
south  of  the  K4bul  river  between  Little 
Kibul  and  B&r£k6b     Erskine. 

*  B^ber  confirms  or  originates  this  fact, 
and  adds  that  those  raised  from  seed 
brought  from    Khurdsdn  are  tolerable. 


He  praises  those  of  Bokhara,  but  pro- 
nounces those  of  Akhsi,  a  district  north 
of  the  Jaxartes,  to  be  beyond  comparison 
the  best. 

*  The  word  is  so  written  by  Biber, 
but,  according  to  Cunningham,  (p.  32,) 
the  true  name  is  PanMr,  the  Arabs 
writing  j  for  the  Indian  ch.  The  modern 
spelling  of  Panjshir,  adopted  by  Bumes, 
Leech  and  others,  now  prevails.  A  town 
named  FanjsfUr  is  mentioned  by  Ibn 
Haukal  and  a  mountain  called  Pashii 
was  crossed  by  Ibn  Batdta  on  his  way 
from  Knnduz  to  Parw&n.  The  height 
of  the  Ehaw&k  pass  over  the  Hinda  Knsh 
is  marked  in  Curzon's  map.  (Russia  in 
Central  Asia)  13,000  feet.  In  this 
enumeration,  as  Erskine  observes,  B&ber 
begins  from  the  east.  The  whole  pas- 
sage is  taken  almost  word  for  word  from 
the  Memoirs.

The  best  of  these  is  J\il  bat  it  is  somewhat  long  as  its  name  implies.  The 
most  direct  is  over  the  heights  of  Bdadrak.  Between  the  high  range  and 
Farwdn  are  seven  other  heights  called  Haft  Bachah  (the  Seven  YoungUngi). 
From  Anderdh  two  roads  unite  at  the  foot  of  the  main  pass  and  debouch 
(on  Parwin)  by  the  Haft  Bachah.  This  is  extremely  ardaoos.  Three  other 
roads  lead  by  Parw&n  up  the  Qhorband  valley.  The  nearest  route  is  by  the 
pass  of  Yanguyuli,^  (the  new  road)  which  leads  down  to  Waliydu  and 
Khinjdn ;  another  is  the  ^ihchdlc  pass,  also  somewhat  easy  to  traverse,  aad 
a  third  is  the  Shibertu,  In  the  summer  when  the  rivers  rise,  it  ia  by 
this  pass  that  they  descend  by  way  of  Bdmidn  and  Tdlikdn,  but  in  the 
winter  the  Ahdarah  route  is  chosen,  for  at  this  season,  all  other  routes 
but  this  are  closed. 

There   is  also  a  road  leading  from  Khurdsdn  to  J^andahdr  which  is 
direct  and  has  no  mountain  pass. 


*  I  have  corrooted  the  inaoooraoies  of 
the  text  by  the  tme  readings  in  Biber. 
For  Jy.yjfi^,  read  ^j^ji^j^  and  for 
^k^ji  read  oy>J  For  Bimiin  and 
Tdli^an,  Erskiue  has  Bamian  and 
Saigh&n.  He  adds  that  B&z&rak  mnst 
be  the  straight  road  from  Saif&b&d 
to  Ghiurmaghz&r  (p.  189).  The  Par- 
wiln  ronte  is  that  by  Parw&n  to 
Ch£rmaghs4r  which  passes  between 
Saifibid  and  the  head  of  the  valley 
of  Sanleh-anleng  (between  Panjhir 
and  Ohorband).  Yangi-jAli  is  that 
by  Doshikh  direct  upon  Khinjin.  The 
Kipch&k  route  runs  ap  the  valley  of 
Ghorband  and  then  over  the  moan- 
tains  to  the  junction  of  the  two  rivers  at 
IHLila  Beisa.  The  Shibertd  pass  is  hj 
8hiber.  There  seems  to  have  been  a 
direct  road  from  that  to  Mader  in  dry 
weather ;  but  in  wet,  people  went  ronnd 
by  Bilmi&n,  SaighAn  and  the  pass  of 
Dend&n  Shiken,  or  the  Tooth-breaker. 
Bilber  himself  passed  through  Btoi&n 
and  by  the  Bhibertd  Kotal  on  his 
march  from  Khorasan  to  Kabul  in 
February  1507.  Three  of  these  roads, 
the  rpU9oy  of  Strabo,  leading  to  Bactria 
parted  at  Opi^  near  OhartUor,  the 
Hupiin  of  Bilber,  identified  with  Alex- 


andria   Opiana    by    Cunningham    who 
gives  the  routes  as  follows : 

1 .  Ihe  north-east  road,  by  the  Fanj- 
shir  valley,  and  over  the  Khiwak  pass 
to  Anderib. 

2.  The  west  road  by  the  Enshia 
valley,  and  over  the  Hindu  Kush  Pasi 
to  Ghori. 

8.  The  south-west  road  up  the 
Ghorband  valley  and  over  the  Hajiyak 
(H&jigak)  Pass  to  B&miin. 

The  first  of  these  roads>  he  con- 
tinues, was  taken  bj  Aiexander  on  his 
march  into  Baotriana  from  the  territorj 
of  the  ParopamiaadfD,  and  by  Timor 
on  his  invasion  of  India.  It  was  also 
crossed  by  Lieut.  Wood  on  his  return 
from  the  sources  of  the  Oxos.  The 
second  road,  he  supposes  Alexander  to 
have  followed  on  his  return  from 
Baotriana,  as  Strabo  mentions  the  choice 
of  another  and  shorter  route  over  the 
same  mountains.  The  third  was  taken 
by  Ohangiz  Kh&n  after  his  capture  of 
B^i£n;  bj  Moororoft  and  Burnes  on 
their  journeys  to  Bokhara ;  by  Dr.  Lord 
and  Lt  Wood  when  driven  back  by  the 
snow  from  the  Eushin  pass,  and  wti 
surveyed  by  Sturt  in  IS40  after  its  sue- 
oessfnl  passage  by  a  troop  of  horse- 
artillery.

From  Hindustan  five  roads  are  practicable.  1.  Karpah,  which  after 
traversing  two  defiles,  leads  to  Jalaldbdd.  This  rente  is  not  mentioned  by 
Bdber  and  doubtless  was  not  used  in  his  time.  2.  Khaihar^  this  was 
formerly  somewhat  difficult,  but  by  the  command  of  His  Majesty  it  has 
been  made  easily  practicable  for  wheeled  conveyance,  and  at  the  present 
time  travellers  from  Turin  and  India  take  this  route. ^  3.  Bangash  which 
is  reached  by  crossing  the  Indus  at  the  Dhankot*  ferry.  4.  Naghr.  6. 
Farmulf  by  which  the  Indus  must  be  crossed  at  the  Ghaupdrah  ferry. 

Eleven  languages  are  spoken  in  this  province,  each  nationality  using 
its  own,  viz.^  Turkish,  Mughal,  Persian,  Hindi,  Afghani,  Pushtu,  Pardchi, 
Geberi,  Bereki,  Lamghdni  and  Arabic.^     The  chief  tribes*  are  the  Hazdrahs 


"  The  S.  nl  M.  stafces  that  by  the  com- 
mand of  Nidir  Sh&h,  after  his  conqaest 
of  Kibal,  the  Afghilns  made  the  Khaibar 
pass  broad  enough  to  allow  40  horsemen 
to  ride  abreast,  and  it  was  so  swept  and 
cleared  that  travellers  were  nnioconve- 
nienced  by  thorns  and  stones.  Behind 
his  commands  was  the  sword.  The  Kar- 
pah  or  as  Elphiostone  writes  it,  Oarrapa 
Pass  is  in  the  Mohmand  oonntrj,  bat 
seldom  traversed  on  acconnt  of  its  rag- 
ged defiles  and  the  freqaent  crossings 
OTor  the  stony  and  rapid  fords  of  the 
Cabal  river,     (p.  365). 

'  Erskine  writes  the  word  Dinkot  and 
locates  it  'near  "  Khushalghar "  or 
"perhaps  Kalabagh."  The  road  from 
Ghanpilrah  to  Farmnl  was  probably  the 
direct  road  from  Kanig^ram  to  Urghun. 
Ghaaparah  itself  he  places  near  "  Kagal- 
wala'*  on  the  Karram. 

'  Baber  adds  Pashii ;  Gabri  is  said  in 
the  Khal&sata'l  Ans&b,  to  be  a  place  in 
Bajanr.     Dom,  p.  131. 

♦  See  Vol.  I,  p.  871.  The  meaning 
there  given  to  i5^'  does  not  apply  here. 
The  word  is  constantly  ased  by  Bdber 
cither  alone  or  in  conjunction  with 
n  and  Ulus,  as  at  pp.  77,  138,  140, 
to  signify  the  wild  nomad  tribes  of  the 
country.  At  p.  151  is  the  following  pas- 
sage :  *'  As  in  Khorasfin  and  Samarkand, 
the  possessors  of  the  Wolds  are  the  Turks 

51 


and  Aimiks,  so  in  this  country,  (Kiibal) 
the  inhabitants  of  the  Waste  are  Haz<i- 
ras  and  Afghilns.  The  most  powerful 
of  the  Hazaras  in  this  territory,  are  the 
Sultdn  Masaiidi  Haziras^  and  the  most 
powerful  of  the  Afghiins  are  the  Meh- 
mend  Afghans."  This  interpretation 
is  also  confirmed  by  Dora  who  in  his 
annotations  on  Part  1st  of  his  His- 
tory of  the  Afghans,  p.  67,  refers  to 
this  passage  of  the  Ain  i  Akbari  in  dis- 
cussing the  origin  of  the  Haziras  and 
Afghdns.  The  general  name  of  Aimdk 
or  Eim&k  has  become  the  special  desig- 
nation of  a  particular  cl  aster  of  sopts. 
The  author  of  Ansdbn&mah  i  Afdghinah 
employs  the  term  *a»l3Ujjf  plural  of 
O  *i^^  ia  the  meaning  of  tribes,  and 
in  another  passage  speaks  of  the  Char 
Aimdk  consisting  of  60,000  families. 
De  Goignes  (Hist,  des  Huns.  I.  Part  II, 
p.  9)  gives  the  eponymous  founders  of 
these  four  tribes  or  Aim&ks  and  the  cu- 
rious origin  of  their  names,  bat  he  is  in 
error  in  making  Nikodar  the  gprandson  of 
Hulagu  (I.  283).  Nikodar  took  the  name 
of  Ahmad  Khin  and  according  to  D'Her- 
belot  was  the  9th  of  the  Moghal  Emper- 
ors of  the  race  of  Ghengiz  Ehdn.  He 
reigned  from  A.  D.  1282  to  1284.  Durn

clans.  The  Hazdrahs  are  the  descendants  of  the  Chaghatai  army,  sent  hj 
Manku  Kddn  to  the  assistance  of  Huldku  Khdn,  These  troops  were  sent 
to  these  parts  under  the  command  of  his  son  Nikoddr  Oghlitn,  Their 
settlements  extend  from  Ghazni  to  Kandahdr  and  from  Maidan  to  the 
confines  of  Balkh.  They  nnmher  more  than  100,000  families,^  the  third 
part  of  which  consists  of  cavalry.  They  possess  horses,  sheep  and  goats. 
They  are  divided  into  factions,  each  covetous  of  what  they  can  obtain, 
deceptive  in  their  common  intercourse  and  their  conventions  of  amity 
savour  of  the  wolf. 

The  Afghdns  consider  themselves  the  descendants  of  the  Israelites, 
They  assert  that  their  remote  progenitor,  named  Afghan,^  had  three  sons, 
viz.,  Sarahan  to  whom  the  Sarahani  clan  trace  their  lineage;  the  second, 
Ohv/rghusht  from  whom  the  Ghurghustis  claim  descent,  and  the  third  Bat  an  to 
whom  the  pedigree  of  the  Bafani  tribe  is  ascribed.  From  these  throe 
branches  they  developed  into  their  several  clans,  each  distinguished  by 
its  eponymous  tribarch.  The  following  septs  unite  in  SARABAN,  ru.,

(Dorn,  p.  127)  the  Kat^nis  possess  no 
territory  but  are  scattered  in  single

conjointly  called  Niibis:  they  reside 
about  the  town  of  Makhad  on  the  banks 
of  the  Indus  as  far  as  Dera  Ismad  Khin. 
The  descendants  of  Pani  reside  about 
Shik&rptir.  Another  aooonnt  places 
them,  after  their  expulsion  fh>m  their 
country,  about  Jeypdr  and  Jodhpiir 
where  they  subsist  by  traffic  and  carry 
merchandise  to  the  Deccan.  Nighar's 
descendants  reside  about  Dera  Ghizi- 
khdn,  and  Kikaris  near  yandahir.  The 
word  '  zai'  or  'zacy '  as  Baverty  writes 
the  word,  signifies  '  son,'  and  answers  to 
Mac,  Fitz,  and  O.  Suffixed  to  the  tri-

Some  assert  the  Afgh&ns  to  be  Oopts^  and  that  when  the  Israelites 
came  to  Egypt  from  Jernsalem,  this  people  passed  into  Hindustan.  The 
ti-adition  is  too  long  to  be  condensed  within  narrow  limits,  bat  it  is  noticed 
in  passing  as  a  fanciful  digression.

The  Oity  of  Kdbul  is  situated  in  the  fourth  climate.  Its  longitude 
is  104°  40, *»  and  its  latitude  34°  30/  It  is  one  of  the  finest  of  ancient* 
cities,  and  is  said  to  have  been  founded  in  the  time  of  Pashang.  It  posses- 
ses a  double  earthwork  fortress  of  considerable  strength.  To  the  south- 
west of  the  fortified  town  is  a  low  hill  which  is  a  source  of  much  bene- 
ficence, called  Shdh  Kdbul,^  doubtless  with  reference    to  an   edifice  erected

'  According  to  Dom,  Shdh  Hasain, 
Prince  of  Ghor,  (pp.  46,  48,  Part  II.). 
Mata  was  the  name  of  Shaikh  Patni's 
daughter  and  Shdh  Husain  not  being  of 
Afghda  extraction,  his  descendants  were 
called  by  the  maternal  name  of  Mati. 
The  name  of  Ghilzai  was  given  on  ac-

*  It  was  the  old  capital  of  the  country, 
says  Cunningham,  before  the  Macedo- 
nian conquest,  and  Ibn  Haukal  states 
that  inauguration  at  Kdbul  was  a  neces- 
sary qualification  for  goyernmeut  in  a

Lahor,  Kdbul,  Ifglbandi  and  Fatmthi, 
adding  that  near  this  last  was  an  ancient 
castle  with  mud  walls.  It  was  pulled 
down  by  A^med  Abddli,  and  the  houses 
in  front  of  the  Fatouhi  gato  razed  to  the 
ground.  A  now  fort  was  then  erected 
of  brick  work  '  sur  un  lieu  elev^,'  and 
its  garden  laid  out  by  the  governor. 

*  Erskine  says  that  there  is  a  hill  south 
of  Kdbul  on  which  ^dbil  (Cain)  the 
founder,  is  said  to  have  been  interred,  but 
the  only  hill  south-west  is  that  known  as 
Bdber  Badshdh  where  Bdber  himself  was 
interred,  and  is  the  great  holiday  resort

and  there  was  a  separate  ridge^  nancied  Akdbatn.  As  it  somewhat  overlooked 
the  fort,  it  was  included  within  its  precincts  by  royal  command.  Skirt-

amongst  which  the  Shahr  Ard  (Pride  of  the  City)  are  especially  beantifnl. 
The  city  is  watered  by  two  streams.  One  of  these,  called  the  Jui  Khatibdn, 
enters  from  Lalandar  and  flowing  through  the  Shahr  Ard  passes  by  the 
city ;  the  other, '  the  Jui  Put  i  Mdstdn^^  more  wholesome  and  limpid  than

Gate  and  runs  on  to  Beh  %  Mgtmurah.  Near  this  a  canal  called  Mdhum 
Anagah^  has  been  brought,  which  is  of  extreme  convenience,  and  adjacent 
is  the  Qulkanah  quarter  fair  to  the  eye  and  dear  to  the  heart.  From  the  hill 
(of  Shah  K4bul)  flow  three  streams  citywards  ;  at  the  head  of  one  is  the 
shrine  of  Khwdjah  Hamu  ;*  the  second,  according  to  popular  belief,  had 
been  visited  by  the  prophet  Khizr  ;  the  third  is  over  against  (the  tomb  of) 
Khwdjah  Abdu's  Samad  known  as  Khwdjah  Eoshandi,  The  wise  of  ancient 
times  considered  Kabul  and  ^andahar  as  the  twin  gates  of  Hindustan,  the 
one  leading  to  Turkest&n  and  the  other  to  Persia.  The  ens  tody  of  these 
highways  secured  India  from  foreign  invaders,  and  they  are  likewise  the

on  the  north,  bounded  on  the  west  and 
east  by  the  Alingar  and  Kunar  rivers, 
being  Lamghdn.  It  lies  along  the  Kdbul 
river  on  the  south,  and  the  name  is  said 


to  mean  *  nine  rivers.'  The  I.  G.  affirms 
it  to  be  a  distortion  of  the  ancient  name

near  Pind  Dddan  Khdn,  eleven  years 
after  that  of  the  Bdgh  i  Wafd  near  Adi- 
nahpur south  of  the  Kdbul  riyer.  It  was 
situated  10  hoa  from  Bahrah  in  the  middle 
of  the  hill  of  Jud  on  a  level  plot  of 
ground  in  the  centre  of  which  was  a  lake 
which  received  the  water  of  the  sur- 
rounding  hills  and  was  about  five  miles 
in  circumference.  Bahrah  or  Bhira  is 
marked  in  the  maps  20  Jlco«  from  Kuller 
Kaher,  but  the  name  is  said  to  be  com- 
mon in  the  district.  I  find  mention  of 
no  other  Bdgh  i  J^afd  nearer  Jeldldbdd. 
Jfid  is  apparently  a  spur  of  the  Salt

of  the  district  and  of  all  the  tribes

♦  Copied  from  B4ber  whose  account  is 
as  follows  :  "  It  is  an  animal  larger  than 


a  squirrel  with  a  kind  of  leathern  web 
stretching  between  its  fore  and  hind 
feet  like  a  bat's  wing.  It  is  said  that 
they  can  fly  a  bowshot  from  a  higher 
tree  to  a  lower  one.  I  myself  have 
never  seen  them  fly,  but  have  let  one  go 
beside  a  tree  which  it  quickly  clung  to 
and  ascended,  and  when  driven  away, 
expanded  its  wings  like  a  bird  and  came 
to  the  gfround  without  injury."  This 
must  be  the  flying  squirrel,  which  does 
not  fly  though  wing-handed,  but  is  sup- 
ported by  its  membrane  as  it  leaps. 

*  Bdber  likewise  mentions  the  musk- 
rat,  but  adds  that  he  had  never  seen  it ; 
whence  Erskine  suggests  the  inference 
that  it  may  not  have  been  as  common 
in  India  in  his  day  as  it  is  now.

sit  behind,  scream  and  raise  nets  as  the 
flights  of  fowl  approach  and  intercept 
them.  In  the  winter  season  the  birds 
come  down  to  the  skirts  of  the  hills  and 
if  in  their  flight  they  happen  to  pass 
over  a  vineyard  they  are  no  longer  able 
to  fly  and  are  canght.  A  similar  story 
is  told  of  some  fields  near  Whitby.

Ghazntn  is  situated  in  the  third  ciimatB,  and  is  also  known  as  Zdhul, 
and  was  the  capital  of  Sultan  Ma^mdd,  Sultan  Shahdba'ddin  and  several 
other  monarchs. 

This  territory  was  formerly  called  Zabnlistin,  and  some  reckon 
](Candahdr  as  included  within  it.  Here  is  the  last  resting-place  of  ffaUm 
Sandi^  and  many  other  saintly  personages.  The  winter  season  is  said  to 
rd^emble  that  of  Samarkand  and  Tabriz.  A  river*  runs  from  north  to 
south  which  waters  all  the  arable  tracts.  The  cultivators  are  put  to  great 
trouble  as  fresh  soil  has  to  be  supplied  each  year  to  fertilize  the  land  and  it 
becomes  then  more  productive  than  that  of  Kabul.  The  metal  called 
rtitn^  is  here  abundant  and  is  imported  into  Hindustan.  In  the  time  of 
Baber  there  was  here  a  tomb  which  shook  whenever  the  praises  of  Ma^am- 
mad  were  recited.  The  investigations  of  acute  observers  discovered  that 
this  was  effected  by  the  fraud  of  relic -mongers.  There  is  also  a  spring 
into  which  if  any  filth  be  thrown,  a  thunderstorm  ensues  with  a  fall  of 
snow  and  rain.* 

The  Tumdn  of  Daman  %  koh^  has  a  profusion  of  flowers  and  its  spring 
and  autumn  are  matchless  in  beauty. 


B&ber  says,  with  snch  distmgaisbed 
favoar  in  Hindastan  daring  the  time 
of  the  Afghans,  were  all  of  Farmul  and 
descended  from  Shaikh  Mnhammad 
Mosalm^n. 

'  This  tomb  is  mentioned  by  Elphin- 
stone,  Cibnl,  433.  He  was  a  mystic  of 
high  authority  and  repnte  whom  the 
gfreat  Snfi  Maalan&  H(im  looked  up  to  as 
his  master.  He  flourished  under  Bahr&m 
Sh&h  son  of  Mas^tid  Shdh  of  Qhazni 
(A.  D.  1 118-52)  to  whom  he  dedicated  his 
Hadikat  ^\  Halpiilf:.  He  left  also  the 
usual  Diwiin  which  is  necessary  to  every 
Persian  poet's  fame  or  ambition.  He  is 
said  to  have  died  in  1131  at  the  age  of 
62.     Orient.  Biog.,  Beale. 

'  Ghazni  is  situated  on  the  left  bank 
of  a  river  of  the  same  name.  It  runs 
north  to  Loghar  and  joins  the  E^bul 
river.  Biiber  says  it  may  be  large  enough 
to  drive  four  or  five  mills.

*  Albirdni  in  his  Chronology,  Chap. 
XIII  alludes  to  the  '*  famous  well  in 
the  mountains  of  Farghina"  which 
causes  rain  if  contaminated  and  adduces 
several  similar  traditions.  Bdber  says 
that  he  made  strict  inquiry  for  the 
well  but  no  one  could  give  him  the 
slightest  information  abont  it.  The 
discovery  of  the  fraud  at  the  tovnh  is 
due  to  his  observation.  A  scaffolding 
had  been  erected  over  it,  so  contrived, 
that  it  could  be  set  in  motion  when  any 
one  stood  upon  it,  so  that  a  looker  on 
imagined  it  was  the  tomb  that  moved. 
He  directed  the  persons  who  attended 
the  tomb  to  come  down  from  the  scaffold- 
ing, after  which  no  number  of  prayers 
or  praises  could  persuade  it  to  stir.

In  the  T4mdii  of  Qhorhand  the  variety  of  floral  hues  is  beyond  exprea- 
BiOD.  Three  and  thirty  species  of  tulips  here  bloom  and  one  kind  named 
the  rote-scented  tulip  breathes  the  fragrance  of  the  bl ash-rose.^ 

Mines  of  silver  and  lapis-lazali  are  also  fonnd.  Near  the  mountains  is 
a  sandy  tract  called  Khwdjah  B4g  i  Batodn^  and  from  this  quicksand,  the 
sound  as  of  drums  is  heard  in  the  summer  time. 

In  the  Tiimdn  of  Zohdk  and  Bdmidn,  the  fortress  of  Zohdk  is  a  menu- 
ment  of  great  antiquity,  and  in  good  preservation,  but  the  fort  of  Bamian  is 
in  ruins.  In  the  mountain-side  caves  have  been  excavated  and  ornamented 
with  plaster  and  paintings.  Of  these  there  are  12,000  which  are  called 
Suniaj  and  in  former  times  were  used  by  the  people  as  winter  retreats. 
Three  colossal  figures  are  here  :  one  is  the  statue  of  a  man,  80  yards  in 
height ;  another  that  of  a  woman  50  yards  high,  and  the  third  is  that  of 
a  child  measuring  15  yards.  Strange  to  relate,  in  one  of  these  caves  is 
placed  a  coffin  containing  the  body  of  one  who  reposes  in  his  last  sleep. ^ 


let  and  yellow  seen  in  no  othor  parfc  of 
the  country,  its  gproves  of  oak  and  spread- 
ing  plane  trees  have  excited  the  eloquent 
admiration  of  Bilber. 

^  It  is  needless  to  say  that  the  nomen- 
clature of  native  flora  by  Persian  or 
Indian  writers  is  extremely  unscientific 
and  vague,  and  beyond  a  few  woll-known 
kinds,  the  rest  are  indiscriminately  ox- 
pressed  hy  a  shuffling  of  the  few  botani- 
cal terms  they  possess,  and  the  same 
name  does  duty  for  more  than  one  flower. 
Thus  nasr^n  is  the  eglantine  and  the 
narcissus ;  Idlah  the  tulip  and  the  red 
poppy  and  the  prefix  of  gul  which  means 
both 'rose'  and  '  flowor'  increases  the 
confusion.  Again  *  raydhin  plur.  of  ^  ray- 
hdn*  means  particularly  the  Ocymum 
6(ut2«eum,  hence  any  sweet  smelling 
shrub,  and  further  extended  in  a  general 
sense  to  flowers  of  any  kind.  A  glanco 
at  the  Abul  Fazl's  description  of  tho 
flora  of  India  at  p.  82,  1st  Vol.  sufficos 
to  show  the  breadth  and  freedom  of  his 
treatment.  This  large  licence  of  expres- 
sion in  Oriental  writers  may  be  perhaps 
considerately  permitted  in  their  trans- 
lators.     ThiB   acconnt   of  tho   tulips   is

taken  directly  from  Bdber's  Memoirs  who 
mentions  that  he  himself  thus  named  the 
tulip  alluded  to  in  the  text.  He  also 
noticed  in  the  skirts  of  the  same  hills 
below  Parwdn,  the  Idlah  i  fad  barg  or 
hundred-leaved  tulip,  found  only  in  one 
narrow  spot  emerging  from  the  straits 
of  Ghorband.  This  flower  Erskine  calls 
tho  double  poppy.  The  etymology  of 
Ghorband  is  giren  by  Bitber  from  band  a 
steep  hill  pass,  and  ghor  the  country  to 
which  it  mainly  leads.

The  oldest  and  most  learned  of  antiqnarianfl  can  give  no  aooonnt  of  its 
origin,  but  Buppose  it  to  be  of  great  antiqtiity.  In  days  of  old  the  ancients 
prepared  a  medicament  with  which  they  anointed  corpses  and  consigned 
them  to  earth  in  a  hard  soil.  The  simple  deceived  by  this  art,  attribute 
their  preservation  to  a  miracle. 

The  territory  of  Kdbnl  comprises  twenty  Tiimdns.  The  Emperor  B4ber 
in  his  Memoirs  sets  down  the  revenne  at  twenty  lakhs  of  Shahrukhis,  in- 
clusive of  Tamgha^  imposts,  equivalent  to  three  laJcha  and  twenty  thonswid 
Akbar  Shdhi  rupees,  the  rupee  being  reckoned  at  forty  ddm$. 


these  idols  with  hifl  usual  aoouraoy  of 
observation,  (II,  887).    The  andexit  city 
of  Bimiin  oaUed   Gnlgnla   stood  on  a 
conical  hill  pierced  with  caves.     Two 
colossal  idols  are  cut  out  of    the  rock 
opposite  the  hill  on  which  the  city  stood. 
The  larger,  said  to  represent  a  male,  is 
called  Sang-sal,  the  smaller  called  Bhak- 
muma,  is  said  to  he  a  female,  bat  the 
general  appearance  indicates  no  differ- 
ence of  sex.    Thej  stand  in  recesses  cnt 
out  of  the  rock;  and  both  have  been 
mutilated.     The  height  of  the  smaller 
figure  is  117  feet ;  and  the  larger  is  pro- 
bably  a  third  more.    Dead  bodies  have 
been  occasionsJlj  found  in  subterranean 
chambers  which  have  fallen  to  dust  on 
exposure  to  the  air.    Moorcroft  is  con- 
vinced from  his  intimate  acquaintance 
with  the  monasteries  of    Ladakh    and 
Ohanthan,  and  from   the  character  of 
the  painting  and  sculptures,  that  Bimian 
was  the  residence  of  a  great  Lama  bear- 
ing the  same  relation  to  the  Lamaism  of 
the  West  as  Lassa  does  to  the  East.  The 
excavations  which  were  connected  by 
means  of  galleries  and  staircases,  con- 
stituted the  accommodation  of  the  higher 
orders  of  the  clergy  and  the  insulated 
cells  were  the  dwellings  of    the  lower 
monastic    society.      The    word     Shak- 
muma,  he  considers  a  probable  corrup- 
tion of  Shak-muni.    Bumes,  eight  years 
later,  visited    Bimiin,    and    gives    the 


height  of  the  lai^ger  figure  as  120  feet 
and  an  illustration  of  the  idols  as  he 
saw  them.  He  records  the  plastering 
and  the  vivid  colours  of  the  paintings  bat 
his  opinion  on  their  origin  has  little  to 
recommend  it.  Masson  (Joum.  A.  S. 
Soc.  1886,  p.  188)  ascribes  them  with  a 
confidence  not  shared  by  his  readers,  to 
the  Bassanian  age  and  dynasty,  A.  D. 
220. 

^  Inland  tolls.  See  Vol.  I.  189,  but 
Bdber's  words  are  :  "  The  amount  of  the 
revenue  of  Kibul,  whether  arising  from 
settUd  lands  or  reused  from  the  ui^i- 
tants  of  the  waste,  is  eight  lajths  of 
Shdhrukhis."  The  word  *  twenty '  '•^-ij 
must  b^  a  copyist's  error  for  *2*-«A  eiglit, 
as  the  Akbar  Shihi  rapee  being  equal 
to  2}  Shfihrukhis,  the  whole  would  give 
exactly  three  lakhs  and  twenty  thousand 
rupees.  The  word  tamgha  on  the  case  in 
point,  occurs  later  at  p.  172  where  Baber 
says,  with  reference  to  one  of  his  officen. 
**  The  revenue  of  K<bnl  arises  from  a 
Tamgha.  This  tamgha  I  bestowed  on 
him,  and  made  him  at  the  same  time 
Darogha  of  K&bul  and  Pan  jhir,  gave  him 
the  property  tax  levied  from  the  Haz£- 
rahs  and  conferred  on  him  the  office  of 
Oaptain  of  my  Guards."  Erskine  notes 
tamgha  as  the  stamp  tax.  All  animals, 
goods,  clothes  <bc.  brought  into  the 
country  are  stamped  or  marked  and  a 
tax  collected.

At  the  precient  time  notwithstanding  the  remission  of  varioas  taxes, 
by  the  blessing  of  this  ever-daring  role,  the  revenue  has  reached  the 
amount  of  six  krdrsy  seventy-three  lakhsy  six  thousand,  nine  hundred  and 
eighty-three  ddms.  (Rs.  1,682,674-9.)  The  increase  is  to  be  attributed 
to  the  improved  state  of  the  cultivation,  and  also  that  Farashdwar  and 
Athtaghar^  were  not  included  in  the  former  account,  and  lastly,  that  the 
revenue  officers  of  that  time  were  not  as  capable  as  they  are  at  present.

In  the  year  77  of  the  Flight  (A.  D.  696-7)  Abdu'l  Malik  b.  Marwan 
removed  Umayyah  b.  j^bda'l  Malik  from  the  government  of  Khurasan  and 
confen-ed  it  npon  Hajjaj  b.  Yusuf  of  the  tribe  of  Thakif,  and  sent  Abdul- 
lah b.  Abu  Bakr  to  Sistan,  who  levied  an  army,  marched  against  Ran^h^l 
king  of  K4bul.  The  latter  unable  to  withstand  him  took  refuge  in  the 
depths  of  the  mountains.  Abdu'Uah  not  realising  the  difficulties  of  his 
undertaking  eagerly  pursued.  The  mountaineers  barricading  the  passes 
with  stone  breast-works,  blocked  his  road.  The  invading  force  was  hard- 
pressed  and  reduced  to  extremity  through  want  of  provisions.  A.bdu'llah 
was  therefore  compelled  to  purchase  a  retreat  with  the  sum  of  700,000 
dirhams,  equivalent  in  present  money  value  to  3,00,000  nipees.  Shuraih  b. 
Hani  in  indignation  at  the  compact  advanced  to  an  engagement  notwith- 
standing hia  being  stricken  in  years,  and  fell  bravely  fighting.  Hajjaj  on 
hearing  of  the  event,  reprimanded  Abdullah  and  removed  him  from  his

command.  In  the  year  80  (A.  D.  699)  he  appointed  AbduV  Rahman 
b.  MuJI^mmad  Asb^th  to  conduct  the  war  against  Ran^h^l  and  bestowed 
on  him  the  government  of  Sistan  and  the  adjacent  territory,  ^^bdu'r 
Ba^^njn  on  his  arrival  in  Kdbul  adopted  the  former  tactics,  but  pru- 
dently occupied  each  defile  with  his  pickets  and  pei*forming  prodigies 
of  valour,  secui*ed  a  large  booty.  The  difficulties  of  j  the  country,  how- 
ever, prevented  its  permanent  occupation.  Hajjaj  disapproving  his  re- 
treat sent  him  a  severe  reprimand  in  the  following  terms :  **  Although 
your  exei*tions  during  the  present  year  have  been  strenuous,  the  retri- 
bution demanded  by  your  dishonourable  retreat  is  that  immediately  on 
the  receipt  of  this  letter,  you  take  possession  of  the  country.  Should 
you,  through  persistence  in  your  own  opinions  or  through  fear  of  the 
consequences  to  yourself,  refuse  to  comply  and  defer  operations  till 
the  coming  year,  you  are  removed  from  your  command,  and  are  hereby 
required  to  look  upon  Ishak  b.  Mnl^ammad  as  your  commander  and  to 
place  yourself  under  his  orders."  Abdu'r  Ralj^m^n,  confiding  in  the 
strength  of  possession,  disloyally  formed  a  compact  with  his  officers  and 
refusing  submission,  made  peace  with  the  king  of  K4bul  and  marched 
against  Hajjaj.  The  conditions  of  peace  were  that  ^-^d^'^^^^  ^^  victorious 
should  altogether  withdraw  from  Kabul  and  in  no  way  molest  it,  but  if 
defeated,  the  king  should  on  his  part  afford  him  protection  and  assistance. 
Hajjaj  was  enraged  at  this  rebellions  conduct,  and  gave  him  battle  outside 
the  walls  of  Tustar.^  Abdu'r  Ralj^m^n  was  victorious,  and  Hajjdj  retreated 
to  Bafrah.  A  second  engagement  took  place  in  which  the  rebel  was 
defeated  and  took  refuge  in  the  fortress  of  Bast^  which  was  held  by  one  of 
his  lieutenants.  This  accursed  of  God  and  man,  with  a  view  to  ingratiate 
himself  with  Hajjdj,  seized  him  with  the  intention  of  surrendering  him  to 
Hajjaj.  The  king  of  Kdbul,  on  being  informed  of  the  circumstance,  set 
out  with  the  greatest  expedition  and  releasing  him,  returned  with  him 
to  Elibul.  On  several  subsequent  occasions,  with  the  assistance  of  the 
king,  he  continued  the  war  but  without  success.  In  the  lunar  year  84, 
(A.  D.  703)  Ranth61  overcome  by  the  persuasion  and  seductive  promises  of 
Hajjaj,  sent  4-bdu'llah  to  him  as  a  prisoner.  The  latter  resenting  the  dis- 
honour, whilst  on  the  road,  threw  himself  from  a  precipice  and  was  killed.

The  system  of  survey  and  measurement,  as  promoting  the  interests  of 
civilization  having  deeply  engaged  the  attention  of  His  Majesty,  directions 
were  issued  for  the  ascertainment  of  distances  and  their  determination 
by  the  standard  measure  of  the  kos.  The  kSs  was  fixed  at  100  tandbsy^ 
each  consisting  of  50  Ildhi  gaz,  or  of  400  poles  (^J^  bdns)  each  pole  of  12^ 
gag.    Both  of  these  measurements  give  5000  gax  to  the  Jcds, 

Whenever  His  Majesty  travels,  the  distances  are  recorded  in  pole-

^gra  and  E&bnl ;  that  at  every  9  ^a, 
a  mindr  should  be  raised  12  gcu  in  height 
snrmonnted  by  a  pavilion  ;  that  at  every 
10  Ttds,  a  post-house  for  6  horses  should 
be  placed.  The  kds  was  fixed  in  con- 
formity with  the  mil  according  to  the 
following  verse  in  Turki. 


Four  thousand  paces  are  one  mA

Sh^r  Khin  fixed  the  k6$  at  60  jaiibs^  each  of  60  Sikandari  gag  which 
measurement  is  employed  in  the  Delhi  country.  In  Mdkoah  it  consists  of 
90  tandbs  of  60  gaz  each  and  in  Oujardt  is  called  the  cow  kSs,  that  is,  the 
greatest  distance  at  which  the  ordinary  lowing  of  a  cow  can  be  heard, 
whioH  is  put  by  experts  at  50  Jarihs.  In  Bengal  it  is  called  dhapiyah} 
which  is  the  distance  that  a  fast  runner  can  traverse  at  one  breath.  Some 
assert  that  it  is  the  distance  within  which  a  green  leaf  placed  on  the  head 
of  one  who  walks  rapidly,  will  become  dry. 

In  ancient  tables  of  measurement  bjfarsakh  of  distances  and  magnitudes, 
it  is  recorded  that  the  circumference*  of  the  globe  according  to  the  method 
of  the  old  geographers,  was  8000/ar^A;^,  but  6,800  of  the  modem  school, 
wliile  all  agree  in  defining  Skfarsahh  as  three  kSs.  The  former  made  the 
hds  3000  gaz,  each  gaz  of  32  digits.  The  latter  fixed  it  at  4000  gaz,  each  of 
24  digits.  The  digit  with  both  was  the  breadth  of  six  ordinary  barley- 
ooms  placed  front  to  back  in  succession,  and  the  breadth  of  each  barley- 
corn was  equal  to  the  thickness  of  six  hairs  of  the  mane  of  a  Turki  horse. 
To  short-sighted  superficial  observers,  it  would  appear  that  these  two  sys- 
tems difEer  in  their  estimate  of  the  k6$y  but  it  is  clear  to  the  perspicacity  of 
the  far-seeing  that  their  conclusion  is  the  same,  and  the  apparent  difference 
is  caused  by  the  variance  in  the  number  of  the  digits  as  may  be  proved  by 
the  rule  of  proportion.  This  consists  of  four  numbers,  the  first  bearing  the 
same  ratio  to  the  second,  as  the  third  does  to  the  fourth,  as  for  instance,  two 
is  to  four  as  eight  is  to  sixteen.  Of  the  properties  of  this  relation  one  is 
this  that  the  product  of  the  extremes  is  equal  to  the  product  of  the  means, 
as  is  evident  from  the  example  above  mentioned.  The  proof  is  given  in  the 
19th  proposition  of  the  7th  book  of   Euclid^  where  the  apparent  contradic-

tion  is  removed.  The  ratio  of  8000  to  4000  is  the  ratio  of  24  to  32. 
Although  the  four  numbers  are  here  severally  distinct,  the  prodaei  of 
3000  and  of  32  whioh  are  the  extremes,  is  equal  to  the  product  of  4000  and 
of  24  whioh  are  the  means,  namely,  96,000.  Thus  the  result  in  both  is  the 
same,  and  the  discrepancy  in  the  number  of  yards  is  through  the  difllerence 
in  the  number  of  digits.  Each  farsahh  therefore  consists  of  12,000  gat 
(of  24  digits)  according  to  the  measure  of  the  moderns  or  of  9000  (of  32 
digits)  according  to  the  gas  of  the  ancients.  The  properties  and  virtues  of 
these  proportional  numbers  are  manifold.  Among  them  are  the  following : 
If  one  of  the  extremes  be  unknown,  multiply  the  means  together  and 
divide  by  the  known  extreme,  and  the  quotient  is  the  unknown  extreme. 
For  instance  in  the  given  example,  if  2,  the  first  extreme,  be  unknown,  by 
multipljdng  the  means  together  which  are  4  and  8,  we  get  32.  Dividing 
this  by  16,  the  quotient  (2)  is  the  unknown  extreme.  In  the  same  way,  if 
the  other  extreme,  which  is  16,  be  unknown,  by  dividing  the  product  of 
the  means  by  2,  the  known  extreme,  the  quotient  is  16.  Again,  if  the 
unknown  quantity  be  one  of  the  means,  we  divide  the  product  of  the 
extremes  by  the  known  mean,  and  the  quotient  is  the  unknown  mean.  For 
example,  if  4,  the  first  mean,  be  unknown,  by  dividing  the  product  of  the 
extremes,  which  is  32,  by  the  known   mean   which  is  8,  the  quotient  is  4. 


at  a  time  when  the  very  namo  of  that 
geometrician  had  disappeared  from  the 
West.  Na?im'ddiu  T^si  (s^  P  *i  ^'  ^  <>' 
this  Volnmc)  in  the  preface  to  his  Arabic 
Edition  of  the  thirteen  books  of  the 
Elements,  describes  their  original  com- 
position by  EncHd  and  the  snbseqaeut 
addition  of  two  books  by  Bypsidoa  who 
is  disguised  under  the  name  o  ,^j«^-^l 
(probably  a  copyist's  error  for  ^j»jJtg-**'jt ) 
of  Ascalon.  The  attempts  of  sacoeed- 
lug  geometricians  to  add  to  or  explain 
the  Elements  are  enumerated,  and  the 
reasons  that  led  to  his  own.  This  edi- 
tion, excellent  in  type  but  somewhat 
faulty  in  the  orthography  of  the  Arabic, 
was  printed  in  Rome  in  1594  and  from 
it  I  transcribe  the  enunciation  of  the 
proposition  referred  to  in  the  text.

duct of  the  2nd  and  3rd,  and  if  the  product 
of  the  Ist  and  4ith  =  the  product  of  the 
2nd  and  3rd,  the  ratio  of  the  1st  is  to  the 
2nd  as  the  ratio  of  the  3rd  to  the  4th." 
The  proof  follows.  The  7th,  8th  and 
9th  books  of  Euclid  treat  of  the  funda- 
mental properties  of  numbers  on  whioh 
the  rules  of  arithmetic  must  be  founded. 
The  10th  is  the  development  of  all  the 
preceding  ones,  geometrical  and  aritlv 
metical.  When  the  modern  system 
began  to  prevail,  these  books  were 
abandoned  to  the  antiquary.  In  Smith's 
Dictionary  art.  Euoleides,  the  Greek  and

And  if  the  second  mean,  8,  be  nnknown,  bj  dividing  the  prodact  of  the 
extremes  bj  4,  tbe  quotient  is  8. 

By  the  same  means  the  distance  and  altitude  from  the  base  of  a  given 
object  can  be  ascertained.  A  staff  of  a  given  height  is  fixed  upright.  Its 
shadow  and  that  of  the  elevate  object  are  measured.  The  ratio  of  the 
shadow  of  the  staff  to  the  staff  is  proportional  to  the  ratio  of  the  shadow  of 
the  object-height  to  the  height  itself.  Again,  a  sfcaff  is  fixed  in  the  ground 
in  the  same  line  with  the  height  to  be  measared  and  regarded  from  such  a 
point  that  the  line  of  vision  may  pass  over  the  top  of  the  staff  to  the  sum- 
mit of  the  object-height ;  the  ratio  of  the  distance  from  the  stand-point  of 
vision  to  the  base  of  the  staff  is  to  the  height  of  the  staff  as  the  ratio  of  the 
distance  from  the  same  point  to  the  base  of  the  object  is  to  the  height  of 
the  object.  And  if  the  altitude  of  an  object  be  measured  in  a  mirror 
or  water  and  the  like,  a  position  must  be  taken  whence  the  incident  line  of 
vision  may  strike  the  summit  of  the  (reflected)  object- height.  The  ratio 
of  the  distance  of  the  reflected  summit  from  the  foot  of  the  spectator  is  to 
his  height  as  the  ratio  of  the  distance  of  the  same  point  from  the  base 
of  the  object  is  to  the  height  of  the  object.  And  if  it  be  required  to  find 
the  depth  of  a  well,  the  observer  must  stand  where  his  line  of  vision 
traversing  the  brink  of  the  well  touches  the  level  bottom  of  the  well  on  the 
side  opposite  to  him.  The  ratio  of  the  distance  of  the  brink  of  the  well 
from  the  foot  of  the  observer  is  to  his  height  as  the  breadth  of  the  well  is 
to  its  depth. 1
